My Papa told me to stay out of trouble,
"When you've found your man, make sure he's for real!".
I've learned that nothing really lasts forever.
I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal, they won't heal.

Cos every time I seem to fall in love,
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall,
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That's the call, that's the game
and the pain stays the same.

I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere,
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew.
My Mama told me not to mess with sorrow,
but I always did, and Lord, I still do.
I'm still breaking the rules.

I kick it up. I kick it down.

Cos every time I seem to fall in love,
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the heart but then I hit the wall,
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That's my real middle-name,
it has always been the same.
That's the call, that's the game
and the pain stays the same.

I still feel the heat -
Slowly fallin' from the sky -
And the taste of the kissing,
shattered by rain -
Comin' tumblin' from behind -
And the wild holy war.

I kick it up. I kick it down

And every time I seem to fall in love,
Crash! Boom! Bang!
I find the roses dying on the floor,
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That's the tall, that's the game
and the pain stays the same.
That's my real middle-name,
it has always been the same.
Oh Yea Oh Yea Oh Yea ah-hah,
been the same, been the same.
It has always been the same.

It has always been the same.
