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

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

You are my downfall
You are my downfall, I know
You are 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 are my downfall

We slowly build
Like castles in the sand
Waves are crashing
And I become a vessel to carry what you can't

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

You are my downfall
You are my downfall, I know
You are 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 are my downfall

You are my downfall
You are my downfall, I know
You are 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 are my downfall
