Fallout

I done it to myself once again

Breakin' off a piece for everyone

I gave in good faith, in you I believed

But these efforts to connect just segregate it given time

And walls grow taller not with bricks and mortar

But with distance and indifference

And you trust like children and you break like glass

Won't you please put me back together?

Just for a minute you were my best friend

What I gave you took away, give it back

Swimmin' in a sea of nameless faces

Good natured boy wants the world to be his friend

Is that the rock tied around his ankle

That will drag him down and drown him in the end

He needs a hand to hold, he needs a hand

Do you have one to lend?

And past to present and is all he seems to know

Understand that's the reason he's afraid to give again

Just for a minute you were my best friend

What I gave you took away, took away, took away, now

It just bleeds into one anymore

It's so sad but common throw this blanket over all

Is that the state of relations that I made for myself

Cause it's cake and doubt and I won't trust again

And the fallout takes its toll

The fallout takes its toll on me and on you

When it settles will we ever be the same?

Time heals a broken heart but the scars they never go away

Just for a minute you were my best friend

Just for a minute you were my best friend

What I gave you took away, took away, took away
