Verse 1:

She was on the way to the top
Going hard, wouldn’t stop, wouldn’t give up
Julie never let her spirit drop
She and her determination couldn’t split up
Seemed like it could happen any time
She was primed for the day when she would wake up
And finally be the boss, she had climbed so high
Then the company went bankrupt

Trevor was a top ten
Tearing up the Big Ten
Gonna be a first round pick
Maybe be as good as anyone had been when...
ACL went out, lost that draft position
Never had the same speed
Never led a team like he envisioned

Pre-hook:

And that’s the way it goes
Sometimes I don’t know
Why I try to even change the outcome

I keep laying stones
Trying to make a home
But what’ll be left of me on the day that it all comes
Hook:

Crumbling, crumbling
Crumbling, crumbling down (4x)

Verse 2:

Mary had a little Liam
And whenever she would see him
Everything felt right
Told her that forever wasn’t long enough
She knew she could never leave his side
Skip ahead three years
Mary overlooked the fights and her own tears
'Till she caught him with another woman
They were gonna be forever
Now she knew they really wouldn’t, ooh

Eddie wanted to be famous and he made it
Money, fans, a growing list of models dated
He became a household name
But he wondered why he felt the same
He got everything he wanted
But the feeling he was missing out remained

Pre-hook 2:
And that’s the way it goes
Tell me if you know
What it takes for me to change the outcome

I keep laying stones
But this don’t feel like home
What’s gonna be left for me on the day that it all comes

Hook:

Crumbling, crumbling
Crumbling, crumbling down (4x)

Bridge:

Oh God above
Will You be here
When all we love
Just disappears?
(repeat)
