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 goin' on
You could easily

Wake up with a stranger
It's not somethin' else 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 said 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
Who other people will do
To get, this
(High)

It's not somethin' else 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
(As it all begins again)
Was I so wrong, why am I always so intense?
(Always so intense)
In this same place I sit, the same place as before
Oh I came all the way here just to
Watch you walk out that door

I didn't ask 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
Ooh maybe I fought this long and this hard just to
Make sure you survive, Oh
Just to make sure you survive
