Pride Before the Fall Lyrics

Falling feels like flying

Until you hit the ground

Laughing sounds a lot like crying

In certain backgrounds

I can tell you about pleasure

It doesn't last forever

Hell, it hardly even lasts at all

It's just the pride before the fall

I think of your brown hair

And of your pretty smile

I see you everywhere

Though I haven't seen you in while

There was a time I'd think of you

And stop the thing I'm about to do

Take a breath, pick up the phone, give you a call

But these days I just can't say no

I'm finding ways to find new lows

I'm chasing the pride before the fall

This addiction's killing me

But what hurts most is having to see

The way I'm hurting me is hurting you

When I was with you I was so high

That for a while I thought I was flying

But falling's the only thing I know how to do

Stare up at the ceiling

Or look down at the floor

It don't make a difference

These walls don't talk anymore

These walls don't talk but the neighbors do

They ask me what happened to you

I just smile and retreat into my front hall

They bring me food in hopes that I might tell

But I won't speak of my living hell

I guess that's the pride before the fall

This addiction's killing me

But what hurts most is having to see

The way I'm hurting me is hurting you

When I was with you I was so high

That for a while I felt I was flying

But falling's the only thing I know how to do

So I'll cry but I won't call

Try not to think of you at all

Keep building up these walls

That's the pride before the fall
