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 everytime 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

Still breaking the rules

I kick it up

I kick it down

Cause everytime 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

And the taste of the kissing

Shattered by rain

And the wild holy war.

I kick it up

I kick it down

Everytime 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 has always been the same

It has always been the same
