lyrics

My friend Corey told me years ago
I had to fall in love really break my nose
Until then I’d not only be dull but not free
‘Cause only love could teach me every single mystery

I had to fall on my face crack my head in half
To gather the pieces all by myself, in half
Fall back down crack my neck in half
To gather the pieces all by myself, in hand

[My friend Corey told me years ago
I had to fall in love really break my nose]

Beat down and broken, but only a heartbeat and back
I had to lift myself up while staying in tact
All these years this is what my friend meant
By falling in love, dying, then coming back

[All mine.
You didn’t wanna be all mine.
So I’m gonna be all mine.
I’m gonna be all mine.]

I had to fall on my face crack my head in half
[If you didn’t already know this by now]
To piece by piece put me together again
[Get yourself back, you gotta do it yourself]
Fall back down crack my neck in half
[It’s gotta really hurt that bad]
This time it’ll be all my way instead
[This time it’ll be you instead]

I had to fall in love break my nose
‘Cause love will teach you every mystery
I had to lift myself up, stay in tact
By falling in love, dying, comin’ back
I had to fall in love break my nose
‘Cause love will teach you every mystery
I had to lift myself up, stay in tact
By falling in love, dying, comin’ back

Piece by piece put me together
This time it’ll be all my way
Piece by piece put me together
This time it’ll be all my way, instead
