Fall from grace

I choose to be his confidant
And to keep him from the fire
I choose to be quietly discreet
If that is his desire
I touch with gossamer wings
To be quiet around you
There is so much going on
You could easily
Wake up with a stranger
It´s not something that you plan
One night in a world of pain
And you finally understand
Not all the king´s horses, not all the king´s men
Could put it back together
You say you wouldn´t do this for very long
The applause from it all is so defining
Well it bounces off the wall at you
When the miracle is happening
High priestess... she´s the keeper of the peace in this
Twice as much, intensified
What people will do
To get... this... high
It´s not something that you plan
One night in a world of pain
And you finally understand
Not all the king´s horses, not all the king´s men
Could put it back together
And now alone in my room
As it all begins again
Was I so wrong
Why am I always so intense
In this same place I sit
The same place as before
Well I came all the way here
Just to watch you walk out that door
I didn´t ask you when you shook your head
I always accepted what you said
As the truth and the truth only
Well it´s not enough that you depend on me
And it´s not enough that you say you love me
It´s not enough to just save face
Because sometimes
You just fall from grace
Sometimes
You just fall from grace
Maybe I am calmer now
Maybe things are fine
Maybe I made the whole thing up
Maybe it isn´t a lie
Maybe the reason I say these things
Is to bring you back alive
Maybe I fought this long and this hard
Just to make sure you survive
Just to make sure you survive
And to keep him from the fire
I choose to be quietly discreet
If that is his desire
I touch with gossamer wings
To be quiet around you
There is so much going on
You could easily
Wake up with a stranger
It´s not something that you plan
One night in a world of pain
And you finally understand
Not all the king´s horses, not all the king´s men
Could put it back together
You say you wouldn´t do this for very long
The applause from it all is so defining
Well it bounces off the wall at you
When the miracle is happening
High priestess... she´s the keeper of the peace in this
Twice as much, intensified
What people will do
To get... this... high
It´s not something that you plan
One night in a world of pain
And you finally understand
Not all the king´s horses, not all the king´s men
Could put it back together
And now alone in my room
As it all begins again

Just to make sure you survive
