The Fall (Are You Getting the Picture)

My wife and I are divorced
I should say my ex-wife now
We get along quite well
Everything is copacetic

It's hard to live with the loss
But it's working out somehow
As far as I can tell
Lord knows I'm trying
Why am I sitting here crying?

Are you getting the picture
It's worth a thousand words
When you find the tree don't eat the fruit
You'll hear the sirens call

Thinking about a scripture
Maybe one you might have heard
Take a look at me if you need proof
Pride comes before the fall

The strong don't last forever
And the weak can be so strong
The kids are doing great
I had to forgive her

So things are getting better
But it's taking far too long
All I can do is wait Nothing's for certain
And I'm just sitting here hurting

Are you getting the picture
It's worth a thousand words
When you find the tree don't eat the fruit
You'll hear the sirens call
Thinking about a scripture
Maybe one you might have heard
Take a look at me if you need proof
Pride comes before the fall

I know the time is standing in the gap
And I'm gonna need some time to search my soul
That's what it takes And I've accepted that
But working through these lonely days Is gonna take its toll

Are you getting the picture?
It's worth a thousand words
When you find the tree don't eat the fruit
You'll hear the sirens call
Thinking about a scripture
Maybe one you might have heard
Take a look at me if you need proof
Pride comes before the fall
