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 call 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
