i threw myself from a seventh story window
thinking independant flight was in my reach
jumped overboard a brave and agile swimmer
floated face down til i washed up on the beach
if all it took was paitence i'd be living
in a perfect world with you right by my side
but honey i'm not man enough to chase you round the world
or be there every time you cry
so long my love it always hurts to see you
every time i call you're running out the door
goodbye good luck and may the earth rise up to meet you
cause every time i fall i can't get off the floor
or keep this heart from breaking even more
you had your fun playing games with crooked memories
string a boy along a hook right through my cheek
you chewed him up so proud you little princess
got me tongue tied now i can't even speak
kiss me on the lips and i am breathless
too weak to keep myself from fucking up
baby i'm afraid you finally played your final game
cause karma's coming to fix you up
i see your face a thousand times when i close my eyes
it's all down hill from here it's all down hill from here
if i can't get you off my mind then i feel like i could die
like i could die
