| My papa told me:
|
| "Just stay out of trouble.
|
| When you've found your man
|
| Make sure he's for real".
|
| I've learned
|
| That nothing really lasts forever
|
| I sleep with the scars I wear
|
| That won't heal
|
| They won't heal
|
| Cause every time
|
| I seem to fall in love
|
| Crash! |
| Boom! |
| Bang!
|
| I find the heart
|
| But then I hit the wall
|
| Crash! |
| Boom! |
| Bang!
|
| That's the call that's the game
|
| And the pain stays the same
|
| I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere
|
| I pass by the houses and blocks
|
| I once knew
|
| My mama told me not to mess with sorrow
|
| But I always did
|
| And, Lord, I still do
|
| I'm still breaking the rules
|
| I kick it up
|
| I kick it down
|
| Cause every time
|
| I seem to fall in love
|
| Crash! |
| Boom! |
| Bang!
|
| I find the heart
|
| But then I hit the wall
|
| Crash! |
| Boom! |
| Bang!
|
| That's my real middle-name
|
| It has always been the same
|
| That's the call that's the game
|
| And the pain stays the same
|
| I still feel the heat
|
| (Slowly falling from the sky)
|
| And the taste of the kissing
|
| Shattered by rain
|
| (Coming tumbling from behind)
|
| And the wild holy war
|
| I kick it up
|
| I kick it down
|
| Cause every time
|
| I seem to fall in love
|
| Crash! |
| Boom! |
| Bang!
|
| I find the roses dying on the floor
|
| Crash! |
| boom! |
| bang!
|
| That's the call that's the game
|
| And the pain stays the same
|
| That's my real middle-name
|
| It has always been the same
|
| Oh yea oh yea oh yea uh-huh
|
| Been the same been the same
|
| It has always been the same |
