If I could shelter you from all this anger, I take you far away you know I would.
We'd drive 'till dawn and leave this all behind us. Start a new life where the old life stood.
You never had a mother here to guide you. Your only father ran away so young.
The fault was theirs but then it didn't stop you from making miserable your native tongue.

And I, I wish I could have stayed. Would everything have ended up ok?
I wish I could have known so you wouldn't be alone.

This time you're going under, next time I'll be the stronger one.
I fall, you fall, we fall as one. (you think I'm a better man?)
This place seems so familiar, this secret's kept a loaded gun.
I fall, you fall, we fall as one.

If I could take the pain and bear it for you. If I could find a place to keep you safe.
You kept it secret while I kept my distance but I never knew that you had been
betrayed this way.

And I, I promise you I'll stay and everything will end up okay.
I won't put down this phone
'till I know you're not alone.

This time you're going under, next time I'll be the stronger one.
I fall, you fall, we fall as one. (you think I'm a better man?)

We had it all planned out, now it's falling apart.

And I promise you I'll stay, and everything will end up okay
