Lyrics

Album version

I don't wanna fall, fall away I don't wanna fall, fall away I'll keep the lights on in this place 'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away I don't wanna fall, fall away I don't, I don't wanna fall away I'll keep the lights on in this place 'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away I disguise And I will lie And I will take my precious time As the days melt away As I stand in line And I die as I wait as I wait on my crime And I'll try to delay what you make of my life But I don't want your way, I want mine I'm dying and I'm trying But believe me I'm fine But I'm lying, I'm so very far from fine And I, I can feel the pull begin Feel my conscience wearing thin And my skin It will start to break up and fall apart I don't wanna fall, fall away I don't wanna fall, fall away I'll keep the lights on in this place 'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away Every time I feel selfish ambition Is taking my vision And my crime is my sentence Repentance is taking commission It's taking a toll On my soul I'm screaming submission and, I don't know if I am dying or living 'Cause I will save face For name's sake Abuse grace Take aim to obtain a new name And a newer place But my name is lame I can't walk and I ain't the same And my name became A new destiny to the grave And I, I can feel the pull begin Feel my conscience wearing thin And my skin, It will start to break up and fall apart! I don't wanna fall, fall away I don't wanna fall, fall away I'll keep the lights on in this place 'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away... I don't wanna fall, fall away I don't wanna fall, fall away I'll keep the lights on in this place 'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away!

I don't wanna fall, fall away I don't wanna fall, fall away I'll keep the lights on in this place 'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away I don't wanna fall, fall away I don't, I don't wanna fall away I'll keep the lights on in this place 'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away Every time I feel selfish ambition Is taking my vision And my crime is my sentence Repentance is taking commission It's taking a toll On my soul I'm screaming submission and, I don't know if I am dying or living 'Cause I will save face For name's sake Abuse grace Take aim to obtain a new name And a newer place But my name is lame I can't walk and I ain't the same And my name became A new destiny to the grave And I, I can feel the pull begin Feel my conscience wearing thin And my skin It will start to break up and fall apart I don't wanna fall, fall away I don't wanna fall, fall away I'll keep the lights on in this place 'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away I disguise And I will lie And I will take my precious time As the days melt away As I stand in line And I die as I wait as I wait on my crime And I'll try to delay what you make of my life But I don't want your way, I want mine I'm dying and I'm trying But believe me I'm fine But I'm lying, I'm so very far from fine And I, I can feel the pull begin Feel my conscience wearing thin And my skin, It will start to break up and fall apart!
