Fallout Lyrics - The Mayfield Four

I done it to myself once again 

Breakin' off a piece for everyone 

I gave in good faith, in you I believed 

But these efforts to connect just segregate it given time 

And walls grow taller not with bricks and mortar 

But with distance and indifference 

And you trust like children and you break like glass 

Won't you please put me back together? 

Just for a minute you were my best friend 

What I gave you took away, give it back 

Swimmin' in a sea of nameless faces 

Good natured boy wants the world to be his friend 

Is that the rock tied around his ankle 

That will drag him down and drown him in the end 

He needs a hand to hold, he needs a hand 

Do you have one to lend? 

And past to present and is all he seems to know 

Understand that's the reason he's afraid to give again 

Just for a minute you were my best friend 

What I gave you took away, took away, took away, now 

It just bleeds into one anymore 

It's so sad but common throw this blanket over all 

Is that the state of relations that I made for myself 

Cause it's cake and doubt and I won't trust again 

And the fallout takes its toll 

The fallout takes its toll on me and on you 

When it settles will we ever be the same? 

Time heals a broken heart but the scars they never go away 

Just for a minute you were my best friend 

Just for a minute you were my best friend 

What I gave you took away, took away, took away
