[Verse 1]
Truth burns your eyes
Don't act surprised
Like someone opened the curtains
On the person really am inside
What do we have
That we didn't earn?
I'm sick of hiding the power to be the shelter
Your body needs to learn
[Prechorus 1]
I wish I had a purpose
I could do without the fame
I need someone to miss me when they hear my name
My [?] in the ashes
Then we're losing the fire
I'mma burn to keep you alive
[Chorus]
You were my downfall
You were my downfall, I know
You were my heaven, my hell
My thunder, my call
I'm blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You were my downfall
[Verse 2]
We slowly build like castles in the sand
Waves are crashing and I become a vessel to carry what you can't
[Prechorus 2]
You give me a purpose
When I've had it with the flame
I need someone to hold me
When I go insane
What we find in the ashes
Then we lose in the fire
I'll burn to keep you alive
[Chorus]
You were my downfall
You were my downfall, I know
You were my heaven, my hell
My thunder, my call
I'm blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You were my downfall
[Bridge]
(Downfall, downfall)
You were my--
[Chorus]
Downfall
You were my downfall, I know
You were my heaven, my hell
My thunder, my call
I'm blaming myself
For putting you up so high
With a love so tall
You were my downfall
