lyrics

You've got your mind, you've got my art
I can't believe you stole my heart
Going on your way as the world falls down on me
You've run away, but I can smell
That sweet scent you wore so well
You let yourself become a stain in my sheets

Now I'm alone, I guess that's life
No one to phone late, late at night
Suddenly the room feels so, so empty
You've got your mind, you've got my art
I can't believe you took my heart
Going on your way as the world falls down on me

And I, oh, I can't help
But be tempted when you walk by
It gets me thinking

(chorus)
Maybe I am not a hero,
But that doesn't stop me from trying
I could sit and cry all night
You won't let me catch you falling
Maybe I am not a hero,
But that doesn't stop me from flying
I could sit and cry all night
But I gotta keep from falling

You've got your mind, you've got my art
I can't believe you took my heart
Pushed me down and slammed my face in the concrete
I can't believe I ever felt
That you could be like someone else
Going on your way as the world falls down on me

(chorus)

Down
And I can't help but be tempted when you walk by
It gets me thinking

Sometimes I wish that I was dreaming
And I close my eyes to get back to the beginning
Cause, dad, I don't want to hear that everything will be okay
Friends, I don't give a damn about what you may have to say
Cause I'm still hurting, I'm still learning
How to function day by day
I don't want to start over, I just want to go back

(chorus)

Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down...(x2)
