Fall from Grace Lyrics

I choose to be his confidant and to keep you from the fire
I choose to be quietly discreet, if that is your desire
I touch with gossamer wings to be quiet around you
There is so much going on, it could easily be blinding...
All-consuming... spellbinding... confusing

You say you couldn't do this for very long
The applause from it all is so defining
Well, it bounces off the wall at you
When the miracle is happening
High priestess, she's the keeper of the peace in this
Twice as much... intensified
What people will do...
To get this high

She loves his music sometimes
She makes him cry... intensify
But people will do to get this high

Maybe I am calmer now, maybe things are fine
Maybe I made the whole thing up, maybe it isn't a lie
Maybe the reason I say these things is to bring you back alive
Maybe I fought this long and this hard just to make sure you survive

Wake up with a stranger, it's not something that you plan
One night in a world of pain and you finally understand
Not all the king's horses, not all the king's men
Could put it back together

Maybe I sleep in a bed of roses, maybe they were always there
Maybe I didn't see them then, the answers to my prayers
Falling down in a crystal ball into crystal stairs
I'm doing the same things over and over, going in for repairs

Wake up with a stranger, it's not something that you plan
One night in a world of pain and you finally understand
Not all the king's horses, not all the king's men
Could put it back together

And now alone in my room as it all begins again
Was I so wrong, why am I always so intense?
In this same place I sit, the same place as before
Well, I came all the way here just to watch you walk out that door

Wake up with a stranger, it's not something that you plan
One night in a world of pain and you finally understand
Not all the king's horses, not all the king's men
Could put it back together

I didn't ask when you shook your head
I always accepted what you said as the truth
And the truth only
Well, it's not enough that you depend on me
And it's not enough that you say you love me
It's not enough to just save face
Because sometimes...
You just fall from grace
You just fall from grace
