My Papa told me to stay out of trouble
When you've found your man, make sure he's for real
I've learnt that nothing really lasts for ever
I sleep the scars I wear that won't heal
They won't heal

chorous:
Cos' every time I seem to fall in love
CRASH! BOOM! BANG!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
CRASH! BOOM! BANG!
That's the call, that's the game
and the pain stays the same

I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew
My mama told me not to mess with sorrow
But I always did, and Lord, I still do
I'm still breaking the rule
I kick it up, I kick it down

CHORUS

I still feel the heat
Slowly fallin' (from the sky)
Ans the taste of the kissing
Shattered by rain
(comin' tumblin') from behind
and the wild holy war

I kick it up, I kick it down

CHORUS

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
been the same, been the same
been the same, been the same
It has always been the same
