"We Fell Down" lyrics

"We Fell Down"

In the dream, everything had come undone
I sat in the kitchen and listened to the refrigerator hum
3 a.m. had come and gone
You walked in, I knew by that dress you had on

That we fell down, we fell down
I shoulda known when I asked where you'd been and I heard you lie
That we fell down, we fell down
That was just, just your way of saying "goodbye"

We got a book with pretty pictures all in a row
There's only one missin', baby, that I know
That's the one of you and I
The one where we're lookin' each other in the eye

Yeah, we fell down, we fell down
You said things get lost no matter how hard you try
Yeah, we fell down, we fell down
Well, that was just your way of saying "goodbye"

I woke in the mornin' cold and gaspin' for air
Everything seemed broken beyond repair
The party ribbons and balloons had fallen to the floor
Along with the beautiful costumes we wore

I get up in the mornin', get dressed for work
Yeah, I comb my hair and button my shirt
And I walk home 'neath a sky hard and blue
Well, these are the things that I've gotta do

Since we fell down, we fell down
And I asked if you loved me, you said course you did and sighed
Yeah, we fell down, we fell down
But I knew that was just your little way of sayin' "goodbye"

Yeah, we fell down
