[Verse 1] Fall , fall, falling down the stairs As the skin on my chin tears, And my elbows jab into my stomach, And my knees bend like leaves in a rake. [Verse 2] It feels like someone is twisting my neck, And my body is being pecked By a mocking bird. My horrible screams, everyone heard. (nobody heard) [Chorus] Tumbling, crashing, breaking apart These stairs of love have torn me apart I'd rather fall a thousand flights Than feel this pain another night So watch me as I walk away No more falling, not today. (not any day) [Verse 3] I hit the bottom of the stairs, My body bruised, my eyes with tears. I'll never fall in love again, It's just too much pain! (too much pain) [Bridge] I reached for the rail (But the rail wasn't there!) My heart like glass (It shattered mid-air!) Love should lift, not drop you low (But down I went... crash, bang, blow!) Every step a memory burned (And none of ‘em lessons learned!) We fell like fools, we broke like toys All for love and none of the joy... [Final Chorus] Tumbling, crashing, breaking apart These stairs of love have torn me apart I'd rather fall a thousand flights Than feel this pain another night So watch me as I walk away No more falling, not today It's just too much pain! [Lyrics by David Mitchell]
