Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Falling, I'm falling
Falling, I'm falling
[Verse 2]
Have you ever walked through a room?
But it was more like the room passed around you
Like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through
Have you ever been at some place?
Recognizing everybody's face
Until you realized that there was no one there you knew
[Verse 3]
(Well, I know) some days, my soul's confined
And out of mind, sleep forever
(I know) some days, I'm so outshined
And out of time, have you ever
[Verse 4]
Falling, I'm falling
Falling, I'm falling
[Verse 5]
Have you buried your face in your hands
'Cause no one around you understands
Or has the slightest idea what it is that makes you be?
Have you ever felt like there was more
Like someone else was keeping score
And what could make you whole was simply out of reach?
[Verse 6]
(Well, I know) someday, I'll try again
And not pretend, this time forever
(I know) someday, I'll get it straight
But not today, have you ever
[Verse 7]
Falling, I'm falling
Falling, I'm falling
[Verse 8]
(Falling, I'm falling) some days, my soul's confined
And out of mind, sleep forever
(Falling, I'm falling) some days, my darkest friend
Is me again, have you ever
(Falling, I'm falling) someday, I'll try again
And not pretend, this time forever
(Falling, I'm falling) someday, I'll get it straight
But not today, have you ever
[Verse 9]
When the truth walks away
Everybody's dazed
'Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay?
'Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place
[Verse 10]
When the truth walks away
Everybody's dazed
'Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay?
'Cause I'd like to make the world be a better place
[Verse 11]
When the truth walks away
Everybody's dazed
'Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay?
'Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place
[Verse 12]
I'd like to leave the world as a better place
I'd like to think the world
