The Fall

Just like that, you take me back again
How many years has it been
But you still find a way
To make me feel like a mistake
Like I'm dirty and I'm dangerous
Sick with your shame

When they called me into that room to face the firing squad
I knew I was betrayed by you, in the name of God
I took the blame for something I did not do
I took the fall for you
I took the fall for you

I moved 600 miles away from you
But I'm still scared what you would do
If I start getting close to someone
'Cause I'm afraid you'll try to get to her
Convince her I'm a predator
Still haunted by your ghost

When they called me into that room to face the firing squad
I knew I was betrayed by you, in the name of God
I took the blame for something I did not do
I took the fall for you
I took the fall for you

There are so many things I could've said
But I would never turn you in
'Cause I've decided hurting somebody you love is the greatest sin
Desperate to shift all the focus on me, but I see right through you
Praying to a god who would be on my side if he really knew you

When they called me into that room to face the firing squad
I knew I was betrayed by you, so I took up your cross
I took the blame for something I did not do
I made every excuse
To try and close this open wound
I can't believe I took the fall for you
