Downfall Lyrics by Issues

Beautiful Oblivion

2019

[Verse 1]
Truth burns your eyes
Don't act surprised
Like someone opened the curtains
On the person I really am inside
What do we have
That we didn't earn?
I'm sick of hiding the power
To be the shelter, your body needs to learn

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I had a purpose
I could do without the fame
I need someone to miss me
When they hear my name
What we find in the ashes
Then we lose in the fire
I will burn to keep you alive

[Chorus]
You were my downfall
You were my downfall, I know
You were my, my heaven, my hell
My thunder, my calm
I'm blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You were my downfall

[Verse 2]
We slowly build
Like castles in the sand
Waves are crashing
And I become a vessel
To carry what you can't

[Pre-Chorus]
You give me a purpose
When I've had it with the fame
I need someone to hold me
When I go insane
What we find in the ashes
Then we lose in the fire
I will burn to keep you alive

[Chorus]
You were my downfall
You were my downfall, I know
You were my, my heaven, my hell
My thunder, my calm
I'm blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You were my downfall

[Bridge]
(Downfall, downfall)
You were my

[Chorus]
Downfall
You were my downfall, I know
You were my, my heaven, my hell
My thunder, my calm
I'm blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You were my downfall
