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

CHORUS
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"¦

CHORUS

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!

Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
It has always been the same"¦
