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

Cos 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

Cos 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

Comin' tumblin' from behind

And the wild holy war

I kick it up

I kick it down

And 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 yea oh yea oh yea uh-huh

Been the same been the same

It has always been the same
