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 tall, 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.
