My papa told me to stay out of trouble
"When you've found your man make sure he's for real"
I've learned that nothing really lasts forever
I sleep with the scars I wear that won't heal
They won't heal
'Cause every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
Crash! Boom! Bang
That's the call that's the game and the pain stays the same
I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere
I pass by the houses and blocks I once knew
My mama told me not to mess with sorrow
But I always did and Lord I still do
I'm still breaking the rules
(I kick it up, I kick it down)
'Cause every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang
I find the heart but then I hit the wall
Crash! Boom! Bang
That's my real middle-name, it has always been the same
That's the call that's the game and the pain stays the same
I still feel the heat
(Slowly fallin' from the sky)
And the taste of the kissing
Shattered by rain and the wild holy war
(Comin' tumblin' from behind)
I kick it up, I kick it down
Oh, every time I seem to fall in love
Crash! Boom! Bang
I find the roses dying on the floor
Crash! Boom! Bang
That's the call that's the game and the pain stays the same
That's my real middle-name, it has always been the same
Oh yeah, oh yeah
It's always been the same
It's always been the same
