There's always a downside
Impossible together
Not ever happy apart
I cut myself to the bone again
Cut it too close to the heart
Quicksand might look like it's safe
There's always a downside
I fool myself again,
Again i fool myself
The fairytale is like life
You're in the ground by the end
You're crucified by your friends
Hanging high
All these aches and pains
attempting to abstain
Away from all their games
Success is self contained
Proving I'm to blame
It's time i bear this shame
i feel whole this way
So throw it all away
As I lie awake
With every breath you take
Every promise you break
As i call your name
I fool myself again
Again i fool myself
It's coming to a close
That's just the way it goes
Like when the red wine flows
I know I'm not alone
We're drowning drunk and stoned
Embracing the unknown
No time left to atone
A chain is only as strong
Athis has gone on too long
Where'd it all go wrong
You've got your life in your hands
You'll come back just like pretend
Surprise
Hold on to what you can remember,
Remember
Make sense of what you can decipher,
Decipher
Concentrate on accomplishing miracles
And just be happy with what you get Everything has a downside to it
All these aches and pains
Attempting to abstain
Away from all their games
Success is self contained
Proving I'm to blame
It's time I bear this shame
I feel whole this way
So throw it all away
As I lie awake
With every breath I take
Every promise you break
That's just the way it goes
Like when the red wine flows
I know I'm not alone
We're drowning drunk and stoned
There is a god
I've never known
(the fairytale is like life)
This is the way the story goes
(It's coming to a close)
This is the way the story goes
(It's coming to a close)
This is the way the story goes
(Run and hide!)
This is the way the story goes
{Run and hide!)
This is the way the story goes
(It's coming to a close)
This is the way the story goes
(It's coming to a close)
(It's coming to a close)
(It's coming to a close)
