My papa told me: "Just stay out of trouble. When you've found your man Make sure he's for real". I've learned That nothing really lasts forever I sleep with the scars I wear That won't heal They won't heal
Cause every time I seem to fall in love Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the heart But then I hit the wall Crash! Boom! Bang! That's the call that's the game And the pain stays the same
I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew My mama told me not to mess with sorrow But I always did And, Lord, I still do I'm still breaking the rules I kick it up I kick it down
Cause every time I seem to fall in love Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the heart But then I hit the wall Crash! Boom! Bang! That's my real middle-name It has always been the same That's the call that's the game And the pain stays the same
I still feel the heat (Slowly falling from the sky) And the taste of the kissing Shattered by rain (Coming tumbling from behind) And the wild holy war
I kick it up I kick it down
Cause every time I seem to fall in love Crash! Boom! Bang! I find the roses dying on the floor Crash! boom! bang! That's the call that's the game And the pain stays the same That's my real middle-name It has always been the same Oh yea oh yea oh yea uh-huh Been the same been the same It has always been the same
