The Fall Songtext

The Fall Songtext
Her eyes were as blue as the sky
But only when she cried
She just wasn′t enough to keep him around
Oh it's just so tough
When there′s nowhere to hide
And there's nowhere to run
Oh can't you see it was too much
To keep up inside
All locked up
But she said oh my dear I can′t decide
Where I must stay, how I survive
It chews me up, it chews me up
Do I leave it all behind?
Do I hold it by my side?
I don′t know if I can take the fall
So hold me up until I'm whole, whole, whole
And she smiles but she′s locked tears up inside
Her face is made of steel but full of lies
She just wants to be tough to keep him around
It's just bad luck
That she can′t see inside
That she can't feel the love
Surrounding her it was too much
To realise
All at once
And she said oh my dear I can′t decide (can't decide)
Where I must stay, how I survive (how I survive)
It chews me up, it chews me up
Do I leave it all behind? (all behind)
Do I hold it by my side? (by my side)
I don't know if I can take the fall
So hold me up until I′m whole, whole, whole
(Until I′m) whole, whole, whole
Oh it chews me up, it chews me up
(It chews me up)
But she said oh my dear I can't decide
Where I must stay, how I survive
It chews me up, it chews me up
And do I leave it all behind?
Do I hold it by my side?
I don′t know if I can take the fall
So hold me up until I'm
Oh my dear I can′t decide (I can't decide)
Where I must stay, how I survive (how I survive)
It chews me up, it chews me up
And do I leave it all behind? (all behind)
Do I hold it by my side? (by my side)
I don′t know if I can take the fall
So hold me up until I'm whole, whole, whole
Whole, whole, whole
But only when she cried
She just wasn′t enough to keep him around
Oh it's just so tough
When there′s nowhere to hide
And there's nowhere to run
Oh can't you see it was too much
To keep up inside
All locked up
But she said oh my dear I can′t decide
Where I must stay, how I survive
It chews me up, it chews me up
Do I leave it all behind?
Do I hold it by my side?
I don′t know if I can take the fall
So hold me up until I'm whole, whole, whole
And she smiles but she′s locked tears up inside
Her face is made of steel but full of lies
She just wants to be tough to keep him around
It's just bad luck
That she can′t see inside
That she can't feel the love
Surrounding her it was too much
To realise
All at once
And she said oh my dear I can′t decide (can't decide)
Where I must stay, how I survive (how I survive)
It chews me up, it chews me up
Do I leave it all behind? (all behind)
Do I hold it by my side? (by my side)
I don't know if I can take the fall
So hold me up until I′m whole, whole, whole
(Until I′m) whole, whole, whole
Oh it chews me up, it chews me up
(It chews me up)
But she said oh my dear I can't decide
Where I must stay, how I survive
It chews me up, it chews me up
And do I leave it all behind?
Do I hold it by my side?
I don′t know if I can take the fall
So hold me up until I'm
Oh my dear I can′t decide (I can't decide)
Where I must stay, how I survive (how I survive)
It chews me up, it chews me up
And do I leave it all behind? (all behind)
Do I hold it by my side? (by my side)
I don′t know if I can take the fall
So hold me up until I'm whole, whole, whole
Whole, whole, whole
