The Ballad

I just looked to my life And all I saw was that you're not coming back Oh, can't you see When the ballad comes for you It comes like me? But I won't be afraid I can't seem to find you in this midnight parade I know it's all true When the ballad comes for me It comes like you Up close, I fell in love with you (I met you at an early show) You fall in, I'll fall along with you (We travelled 'round the world together) I just looked out to the point Where the words, they are hitting me in a full-on assault Oh, can't you see When the ballad comes for you It comes like me? Well, I know, can't change the times I know I'm already breaking when I look into your eyes Oh, can't you see When the ballad comes for you (ballad comes) It comes like me? Up close (up close), I fell in love with you (I met you at an early show) You fall (you fall, you fall), I'll fall along with you (We travelled 'round the world together)
