lyrics

It was just the final score
And we'd go back to the way we were before,
But the sleepless nights and lonely hearts
Have left their mark.

Too many times have I watched you from the sidelines
Just waiting for my heart to drop
And every time it rings, a flash of a million things.
These thoughts, they just never seem to stop.

With this fall, you break all of us.
I recall that promise
You made when you sat me down
And told me that life is over now.
The catcher must have failed and let you fall.

There's a knock on the door; it's 3 A.M.
And you were there, cuffs around your hands.
I can't believe you'd come back here and risk us all
Just to save your own skin

Cause you come crawling back after this abandonment.
I don't. I don't know what to say
Cause you think love should breathe unconditionally.
Well that, that just doesn't work for me.

With this fall, you break all of us.
I recall that promise
You made when you sat me down
And told me that life is over now.
The catcher must have failed and let you fall.

In the nuclear explosion that resulted, AiVry was born. ... more
