[Verse 1] He lies again at dawn, I'm fine, I'm clean, he says, But the night left its mark, Written all over his chest. Guilt is stuck to his hands, Smoke still on his breath, He's judge and jury both, Forgiving himself again. Something pulls him back To the noise, the smoke, the sound, Every look feels like fire, Every step takes him down. He says, I'm still the same, But the mirror shows it's not true, Deep down he knows the line He keeps breaking through. [Pre-Chorus] Someone good is standing close, Steady, honest, real, Won't pull him to the dark, Won't feed him what he feels. But the noise inside his head Won't let him just be still, So he drags himself back down, Against his own free will. [Chorus] Falling down, falling down, Back to the place he already knows too well, Falling down, falling down, His own worst enemy, his own hell. Falling down, falling down, Someone true is waiting, but he walks away, Falling down, falling down, Every time, he chooses to stray. [Verse 2] He swears he doesn't drink, But the bottle says he's lying, Every sober day Feels like something he's denying. He's chasing someone's eyes, Like they'll make him whole, Mixing up attention With the love he can't hold. He knows who's been real, No games, no need to pretend, Who never asked for much, Who was steady to the end. But the calm feels too plain, Too quiet, and too slow, He wants the fire instead Of the peace he could've known. [Pre-Chorus] And the night calls again, And again he walks right in, To the place where nothing's clean, Where his conscience can't win. He can see where it ends, Still he takes one more step, Like falling is the only thing He knows how to do best. [Chorus] Falling down, falling down, Back to the place he already knows too well, Falling down, falling down, His own worst enemy, his own hell. Falling down, falling down, Someone true is waiting, but he walks away, Falling down, falling down, Every time, he chooses to stray. [Bridge] He's not blind, he sees it clear, His mind knows right from wrong, But he reaches for the fire And burns down where he belongs. [Chorus] Falling down, falling down, Back to the place he already knows too well, Falling down, falling down, His own worst enemy, his own hell. Falling down, falling down, Someone true is waiting, but he walks away, Falling down, falling down, Every time, he chooses to stray.
