WATCHED YOU FALL

You were my wild companion
We were forever high
We burned the night around us
Sleeping could wait until we die

You wear the scars of passion
And since the crashing came
You've broken every promise
I walked away

I watched you fall
I was blind to you
Was lying to you like everybody else
Who watched you fall
They say they love you
But they're laughing when you crawl

It's such a weary feeling
When you've been stealing from yourself
Wishing the world away
Blaming someone else

Now no one can do this for you
Straighten your hair and fix your face
Take all the pain inside you
Wash it away

Chorus

Did I hear you
Did I try
Can I forgive myself for not standing by

Chorus
