Downfall

[Verse 1:]
Truth burns your eyes
Don't act surprised
Like someone opened the curtains
On the person I really am inside
What do we have
That we didn't earn?
I'm sick of hiding the power
To be the shelter, your body needs to learn.

[Pre-Chorus:]
I wish I had a purpose
I could do without the fame
I need someone to miss me
When they hear my name
What we find in the ashes
Then we lose in the fire
I will burn to keep you alive.

[Chorus:]
You were my downfall
You were my downfall, I know
You were my, my heaven, my hell
My thunder, my calm
I'm blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You were my downfall.

[Verse 2:]
We slowly build
Like castles in the sand
Waves are crashing
And I become a vessel
To carry what you can't.

[Pre-Chorus:]
You give me a purpose
When I've had it with the fame
I need someone to hold me
When I go insane
What we find in the ashes
Then we lose in the fire
I will burn to keep you alive.

[Chorus:]
You were my downfall
You were my downfall, I know
You were my, my heaven, my hell
My thunder, my calm
I'm blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You were my downfall.

[Bridge:]
(Downfall, downfall)
You were my.

[Chorus:]
Downfall
You were my downfall, I know
You were my, my heaven, my hell
My thunder, my calm
I'm blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You were my downfall.
