Then I Fall

Then I Fall

1. Then I Fall

Then I Fall

(chorus)

and then I fall

and I can't get back up at all

instead I stay on the floor

it's where I belong

it's always a defeat

instead of a single win

that I could severely need

at this point it's no surprise

and then I

call up my confidant

say one prayer or a lot

so I'm alive not dying

but that's not saying much

I want a chance or a shot

God please give me all you got

while I'm hanging on

before I give up it all

(end chorus)

(verse 1)

one, two, and three

there is no job for me

that interview, I blew it like a candle

alone is a way of life

not a thing that makes me stronger

just weaker

I tell myself before I sleep

there's no reason to weep

(chorus)

and then I fall

and I can't get back up at all

instead I stay on the floor

it's where I belong

it's always a defeat

instead of a single win

that I could severely need

at this point it's no surprise

and then I

call up my confidant

say one prayer or a lot

so I'm alive not dying

but that's not saying much

I want a chance or a shot

God please give me all you got

while I'm hanging on

before I give up it all

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

sensing a change

in the pattern of the dull

mapping out a plan

of a futile list of actions

when I wake up tomorrow

things will still be the same

as they were

if only

my skin starts to chill

an unwanted thrill

(chorus)

and then I fall

and I can't get back up at all

instead I stay on the floor

it's where I belong

it's always a defeat

instead of a single win

that I could severely need

at this point it's no surprise

and then I

call up my confidant

say one prayer or a lot

so I'm alive not dying

but that's not saying much

I want a chance or a shot

God please give me all you got

while I'm hanging on

before I give up it all

(end chorus)

(bridge)

never mind the criticisms

they pile up like useless articles

I decided I will keep trying

always mind those dear to you

their company is so beautiful

take the time to keep them lovely

all these lessons I've learned

don't help much, darling

but they do not hurt either at all

if I am missing

don't look for me one bit

I found what I searched for, happiness

I found happiness

I found happiness

I found happiness
