Breakerfall Lyrics
Ah.
There's a girl on a ledge who's got nowhere to turn.
Cause all the love that she had was just wood that she burned.
Now her life is on fire it's no ones concern.
She can blame the world or prey till dawn.
But only love can break her fall.
Break her fall. Yeah, only love can break her fall. Fall.
It's like she lost her invitation to the party on earth and she's standing outside hating everyone here.
Yeah, she's her own disease, crying to her doll.
But only love can break her fall.
Break her fall. Only love can break her fall. Yeah.
Yeah fall. Blame the world. Break her fall. Break her fall.
Love, love, love can break her fall. Who?
Now only love can break her fall.
Love, love can break her fall. Fall.
Love, love can break her fall.
Only love can break her.
Cause all the love that she had was just wood that she burned.
Now her life is on fire it's no ones concern.
She can blame the world or prey till dawn.
But only love can break her fall.
Yeah, she's her own disease, crying to her doll.
But only love can break her fall.
Love, love, love can break her fall. Who?
Now only love can break her fall.
Love, love can break her fall. Fall.
Love, love can break her fall.
Only love can break her.

it's been said that this song was written about courtney love.
i don't know if that's true.
but it's an interesting thought, i think.
cool song, anyway.
Funny, I was just coming on here to say the same thing - only 7 years later. ;)

this is one of my fav. songs....its something i can really relate to right now...it means that theres a girl who's had her heart broken too many times and its no fault but her own and shes about to give up...but the only thing that can save her is being in love..PJ is the best
Popularity is not a prerequisite for greatness. As is the story of Pearl Jam.
I love PJ because of how well they can friggin describe other peoples' dillemas... they have damn good empathy... That was COMPLETELY me at one time, but I'm lucky now because love really did break my fall. Thank you Matt, because of you I learned there is more to love than just a fluttery heartbeat.... the truest love is built off of a great friendship. ^^
A great song that isn't recognised much. Pity it could have been really popular.
She is bitter and everything once beautiful and everything she once cared about now just makes her angry.
She was scorned in love and only a new and persistant deep love can "Break her fall"
this song is about a girl who is on ... the end of the line, inches from the edge of some precipice (in life, not real). and the only possible way she can be bailed out of this precarious situation is is someone welcomes her into his life with genuine love for her.
"its like she's lost her nvitation to the party on earth.." just sums her situation up... she is now a "nobody's child" with only her doll to cry to, no human shoulder.

its weird cuz i feel like my life was over a long time ago when my love of my granda died and some how im still living i pry eveynight to god about wanting to die and almost everytime i think to myself how selfish i am when i pry like that when i know i should be lining as god has kept m e alive but everything diddapears when i talk to people like you people on this site cuz you understand what i mean by it through pearl jam. i sometimes listen to pj and think to myself fuck thats kind of like the situation im in now just because i can reach them in that way their such an amazing band to be able to reach me like that
same with me and "slieght of hand" that song is like the fuckin story of my life right now- there are so many of their songs that i can relate to but no one i know likes or gives pj any respect, thats also why i go to this site so i can talk to people that love this band as much as i do
