[Verse 1] Once she lay open like a road Carved apart the madness that I stumbled from But she fell away She fell away Shed me like a skin She fell away Left me holding everything, oh oh Seems impossible to me now Seems impossible to me now Seems impossible to me now But once the road lay open like a girl [Verse 2] And we drank and laughed and threw the bottle over But she fell away She fell away I did not see the cracks form As I knelt to pray I did not see the crevice yawn, no No No Sometimes At night I feel the end it is at hand My pistol going crazy in my hand For she fell away O she fell away [Verse 3] Walked me to the brink And fell away I did not see her fall To better days Sometimes I wonder was she ever really there at all, yeah Yes, she fell away She fell away Oh, she fell away Oh, she fell away
