The Fall

Just like that, you take me back again 

How many years has it been

But you still find a way

To make me feel like a mistake 

Like I'm dirty and I'm dangerous

Sick with your shame

When they called me into that room to face the firing squad

I knew I was betrayed by you, in the name of God

I took the blame for something I did not do

I took the fall for you

I took the fall for you

 

I moved 600 miles away from you

But I'm still scared what you would do 

If I start getting close to someone

'Cause I'm afraid you'll try to get to her

Convince her I'm a predator 

Still haunted by your ghost

When they called me into that room to face the firing squad

I knew I was betrayed by you, in the name of God

I took the blame for something I did not do

I took the fall for you

I took the fall for you

There are so many things I could've said

But I would never turn you in

'Cause I've decided hurting somebody you love is the greatest sin

Desperate to shift all the focus on me

But I see right through you

Praying to a god who would be on my side if he really knew you

When they called me into that room to face the firing squad

I knew I was betrayed by you, so I took up your cross

I took the blame for something I did not do

I made every excuse 

To try and close this open wound

I can't believe I took the fall for you
