I never said I wanted to write this song
Trade my thoughts to anyone
I never said that my soul was up for sale
To anybody that came along
There's no more hope on this shaky ground I'm on
No more feelings left on call
Oh and there's no more words to tell the tale
Of all the damage that I have done
And it seems when you fall there's only one direction
No stops and no turns
Just down that's all, yeah
Guess I wasn't strong
When I tried so hard to hold on
Guess I wasn't ready for the long and lonely fall
If I had known I was gonna live this long, yeah
I would have taken care of myself, yes
If I had known that it's gonna get harder
I would have never, never, pretended so long
(Oh let me say now)
And it seems when you fall there's only one direction, yes there is
No stops and no turns
Just down that's all
Guess I wasn't strong
When I tried so hard to hold on
Guess I wasn't ready for the long and lonely fall
Out on a limb over the edge, out of line
Hanging on a thread that's too thin to climb
And it seems when you fall there's only one direction, yes there is
And no crack in the sky to climb up on
Guess I wasn't strong
When I tried so hard to hold on
Guess I wasn't ready for the long and lonely fall
(Oh but let me say now)
Guess I wasn't strong
When I tried so hard to hold on
Guess I wasn't ready for the long and lonely fall
