Watched You Fall Lyrics
You were my wild companion
We were forever high, high, high
We burned the night around us
Sleeping could wait until we died
You wear the scars of passion
And since the crashing came
You've broken every promise
I walked away
Chorus:
I watched you fall
I was blind to ya
Was lying to ya
Like everybody else who watched you fall
Say they love you but they're laughing
When you crawl
It's such a weary feeling
When you've been stealing from yourself
Wishing the world away
Blaming someone else
No one can do this for you
Straighten your head, fix your faith
Take all the pain inside you
Wash it away
Chorus
Did I hear you, did I try
Can I forgive myself for not standing by
Chorus
I was blind to ya
Was lying to you
Said I love you but I'm laughing
When you crawl
Was lying to ya
You fall
I watched you fall
I watched you
We were forever high, high, high
We burned the night around us
Sleeping could wait until we died
And since the crashing came
You've broken every promise
I walked away
I watched you fall
I was blind to ya
Was lying to ya
Like everybody else who watched you fall
Say they love you but they're laughing
When you crawl
When you've been stealing from yourself
Wishing the world away
Blaming someone else
Straighten your head, fix your faith
Take all the pain inside you
Wash it away
Can I forgive myself for not standing by
Was lying to you
Said I love you but I'm laughing
When you crawl
Was lying to ya
You fall
I watched you fall
I watched you

I can't believe no ones commented on this song!! I love it. To me its about someone who said that thry would always be there, but they enjoy watching you fail, while acting like they care??
@HoneyBloodComa, oddly just thought of this song. I'm writing a manuscript about addiction. I like to listen to music while I write and this song always felt like it is about loving someone who is an addict. You do until you can't anymore. You watch them fall, and you lie to yourself that they are really falling as bad as they are and the only healthy thing to do is leave--which the person in the song does then stands back and watches the person they once cared for continue to go down the rabbit hole. It is a sad song....

It is a sad song. Very "Leaving Las Vegas" If you played it with Good Enough by Sarah McLachlan and Pink's Who Knew you might just drown in inabling tears.
