Lyrics
I choose to be his confidant
And to keep him from the fire
I choose to be quietly discreet
If that is his desire
I touch with gossamar wings
To be quiet around you
There is so much going on
You could easily
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
You say you wouldn'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
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 (as it all begins again)
Was I so wrong?
Why am I always so intense? (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...
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
Sometimes
You just fall from grace
Maybe I am calmer now
Maybe things are fine
Maybe I made the whole thing up
Maybe it isn't a lie
Maybe the reasons I say these things
Is to bring you back alive
Ooh, maybe I fought this long and this hard just to make sure you survive! Yeah
Just to make sure you survive
