I can fall alone if all

If I can fall away

I can fall alone if all

If I can fall away

I met a new one and she looks just like you

She gives me everything that you didn't want to

Maybe I don't need saving after all

She sticks in my ribs

Almost better than you did

Maybe I'm tired or maybe she glows

I wonder if you're still defending

I wonder if you're still defending

'Cause I can fall alone if all

If I can fall away

('Cause you've been so wrong for so long now)

I can fall alone if all

If I can fall away

I met someone with your eyes and your skin

I can convince her of anything

And baby, it's so delicious you should

Come here and see for yourself

"'Cause I'm gone", you said

If this is all there is

And you'll never shine alone

I wonder if you're still defending

And I wonder if you're still defending

'Cause I can fall alone if all

If I can fall away

('Cause you've been so wrong for so long now)

I can fall alone if all

If I can fall away

And your new anthems that you breathe

And I've got you on my answering machine

'Cause I've kissed others lips

And they promised to heal me

And it's easy if you try, just try

And I wonder if you're still defending

I wonder love, I wonder

'Cause I can fall alone if all

If I can fall away

('Cause you've been so wrong for so long now)

I can fall alone if all

If I can fall away

('Cause you've been so wrong for so long now)

I can fall alone if all

If I can fall away

I can fall alone if all

If I can fall away

(So long, so long)

And your new anthems that you breathe

And I've got you on my answering machine

I got your anthems and I can hardly breathe

And I've got you on my answering machine, machine

'Cause I can fall alone if all

If I can fall away
