Downfall Lyrics by Matchbox Twenty

The Matchbox Twenty Collection

2002

[Verse 1]
I wonder how you sleep
I wonder what you think of me
If I could go back
Would you have ever been with me?
I want you to be uneased
I want you to remember
I want you to believe in me
I want you on my side

[Chorus]
Come on and lay it down
I've always been with you
Here and now
Give all that's within you
Be my savior
And I'll be your downfall

[Verse 2]
Here we go again
Ashamed of being broken in
We're gettin' off track
I wanna get you back again
I want you to trouble me
I wanted you to linger
I want you to agree with me
I want so much so bad

[Chorus]
Come on and lay it down
I've always been with you
Here and now
Give all that's within you
Be my savior
And I'll be your downfall

Yeah, be my savior
(Only love can save us now
Come lay me down
Only love can save us now)
I'll be your downfall
(Our love can save us now
Love save me now)

[Bridge]
Lay it down
I've always been with you
Hear me now
With all that's within you
Be my savior
And I'll be your downfall

[Outro]
Now I'm back, on my own
Hear my feet, they're made of stone
And I'll make you go, where I go
Well hell, you, can I take you home?
And I'm coming home, on my back
Well is it me, or did she paint it black?
Saying, "Woah, oh-oh
Lemme be your downfall
Woah, oh-oh
Lemme be your downfall, baby"
