[Verse 1]
I was raised to follow my heart
Keep the faith when the lights go dark
Now it seems that I've wandered too far
So pardon me if I just fall apart
[Verse 2]
You moulded me like clay in your hands
Tied my feet and you forced me to stand
Dirty wounds, there's blood in the sand
So pardon me if I don't join in your dance
[Chorus]
Say that you wanted me
Even after the fall
Say that you needed me
After all, after all
[Verse 3]
Lie to me and I'll play my part
The pain is sweet when it's disguised as art
Finally I'm breaking it down
I am just another jewel in your crown
[Chorus]
Say that you wanted me
Even after the fall
Say that you needed me
After all, after all
[Bridge]
Love you've built the fire
And now you watch it burn
All of my desires
And the love you never earned
Oh you've built the fire
And now you watch it burn
All of my desire
And the love you never earned
Oh you've built the fire
And now you watch it burn
All of my desire
And the love you never earned
Oh you've built the fire
And now you watch it burn
All of my desire
Until you finally learned
[Chorus]
To say that you wanted me
Even after the fall
Say that you needed me
After all
Say that you wanted me
Even after the fall
Say that you needed me
After all, after all
After all, after all
