Before the Fall Lyrics by Don Dawson

2022

You said it was you
But now I see it was me
This whole time
You're leaving at 11:30
Brought me to my knees
We've been telling ourselves
That we'll be
Just fine if we let nobody see

So what'd you learn today?
Can't keep the world away
No, no matter
How tall you build your walls
Now you're bare and
Broke before the fall

What'd it take for you
Just to see what I see?
That's okay
There's solace in your hypocrisy
Don't you wish we took
It more seriously
This curtain
Is closing and it's permanently

So what'd you learn today?
Can't keep the world away
No, no matter
How tall you build your walls
Now you're bare and you're
Broke before the fall

Feelings out of the way
With our sights on the next book
Next page
The chapters filling up by the day
There's nothing we can do
Except cut through the weeds
And maybe
We'll come out better for this defeat

So what'd you learn today?
Can't keep the world away
No, no matter
How tall you build your walls
Now you're bare and you're
Broke before the fall

You're broke before the fall
