Meredith Brooks › Lyrics › Watched You Fall

You were my wild companion
We were forever high, high, high
We burned the night around us
Sleeping could wait until we died

You wear the scars of passion
And since the crashing came
You've broken every promise
I walked away

I watched you fall, I was blind to ya
Was lying to ya like everybody else
Who watched you fall, say they love you
But they're laughing when you crawl

It's such a weary feeling
When you've been stealing from yourself
Wishing the world away
Blaming someone else

No one can do this for you
Straighten your head, fix your faith
Take all the pain inside you
Wash it away

I watched you fall, I was blind to ya
Was lying to ya like everybody else
Who watched you fall, say they love you
But they're laughing when you crawl

Did I hear you? Did I try?
Can I forgive myself for not standing by?

I watched you fall, I was blind to ya
Was lying to ya like everybody else
Who watched you fall, say they love you
But they're laughing when you crawl

I was blind to ya, was lying to you
Said I love you but I'm laughing
When you crawl, was lying to ya
You fall, I watched you fall, I watched you
