The Downfall

This is the downfall to all of your misdirection

Once seated in this place

You cry and stumble down these steps until you fall



No reason to be angry

You did it all yourself

No reason to shed a tear

The ground is wet enough



This is the up rise to your defeated state of mind

Once waiting patiently

You reach and grab for one last hope until it is completely gone



No reason to be angry

You did it all yourself

No reason to shed a tear

The ground is wet enough



Please stop (and try to forget me)

For I am not the same (so different now)

You lost me (and lost the war)

Just quit and give up now (not worth the try)



You lost me to yourself (yourself)

Not to no one else (no one else)

You shot me down (with your own bullets)

And drown me (in your own pool)



You lost me now

You lost me now

YOU LOST ME NOW…..



No reason to be angry

You did it all yourself

No reason to shed a tear

The ground is wet enough  (It’s far to wet outside…)
