Sometimes

I had to bite my tongue just now
Or I'm sure I would have said
Words I swore to never speak out loud
But it seems no matter where I go
I'm there to get in my own way
And try to kick myself down to the ground

But in the dark I could swear I heard your voice
Whisper my name
So I hold my breath, try to listen close
Until the dawn breaks

But it's a long way to fall
Yeah, that's a long, long way to fall
It's a long way down

I'm sure I could be someone so much better
Than that man that you had to see
If I could only keep myself the hell away from me
And I swear that I'd make things right
If I only knew where to begin
But eventually we both know I'd just fuck things up again

Remember our devils are all angels
Only they've fallen down
While we're all actors, got our roles to play
Until we take our final bow

We all have nights where we forget our lines
And everybody falls from grace sometimes
And it's a long way down
It's a long way down

Hope you still think of me and smile sometimes
I know that when I fall from grace tonight
I'll hear the echoes of all the songs of me and you
So I'll listen as I fall
Listen the whole way down
And it's a long way down
Yeah, that's a long way down
