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

Cos 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
It has always been the same

It has always been the same
