This will all fall down like everything else that was
This too shall pass and all of the hobbies we had
We can't take them back

Now every fool in town would've given up by now
I can't replace all the wasted days
The memory of your face - can't help thinkin'

Maybe if I ever coulda kept it all together
Where would I be
A thousand lost pieces
And the joys you never were giving me
Here's what I'm thinking

chorus

You won't be the first - toy that I'll break
You won't be the last - beautiful gnome
The one that I wrecked - they won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful gnome in the world

I'll tell you one more time
How I'm sorry about the way
This all went down - I needed to find some space
We needed to still be friends
Needed me to
Fix you if I ever couldn't keep it all together
you'd comfort me
Tell me but forever
And the tales I never should have believed in
Here's what I'm thinking

chorus

You won't be the first - you that I break
You won't be the last - beautiful gnome
The one that I wrecked - they won't take you back
If you were the last beautiful gnome in the world

You're broken now - And I've gone without
Cuz you're everybody else's gnome
It seems to me - you'll always be
Everyone else's gnome

This will all fall down
Like everything in the world
This too must end
And everything else that was
They can't take back
