Fallout Lyrics by The Mayfield Four

Fallout

1998

Done it to
Myself once again
Breaking off
A piece for everyone
I gave in good faith
In you I believed
But these efforts to connect
Just segregate given time
Then walls grow taller
Not with bricks and mortar
But with distance
And indifference
And you trust like children
And you break like glass
Will you please
Put me back together?

Just for a minute
You were my best friend
What I gave
You took away

Swimming in a sea
Of nameless faces
Good-natured boy wants
The world to be his friend
Is that the rock
Tied around his ankle
That will drag him down
And drown him in the end

He needs a hand to hold
He needs a hand
Do you have one to lend?
Past to present
Is all he seems to know
Understand that's the reason
He's afraid to give again

Just for a minute
You were my best friend
What I gave you took away

-Solo-

It just bleeds into one anymore
So sad but common to throw
This blanket over all
Is that the state of relations
That I made for myself
'Cause it's cake and doubt
And I won't trust again
And the fallout takes it toll
The fallout takes its toll
On me and on you
When it settles will
We ever be the same
Time heals a broken heart
But the scars they
Never go away

Just for a minute
You were my best friend
Just for a minute
You were my best friend
What I gave you took away
Took away, took away
