[Verse 1]
I choose to be his confident and to keep him from the fire
I choose to be quietly discreet if that is his desire
I touch with gossamer wings to be quiet around you
There is so much going on, you could easily

[Chorus]
Wake up with a stranger, it's not something that you plan
One night in a world of pain and you finally understand
Not all the king's horses, not all the king's men
Could put it back together

[Verse 2]
You say you wouldn't do this for very long
The applause from it all is so defining
Well, it bounces off the wall at you
When the miracle is happening
High priestess, she's the keepеr of the peace in this
Twicе as much, intensified
What people will do
To get this high

[Chorus]
It's not something that you plan
One night in a world of pain and you finally understand
Not all the king's horses, not all the king's men
Could put it back together
[Post-Chorus]
And now alone in my room as it all begins again (As it all begins again)
Was I so wrong? Why am I always so intense? (Always so intense)
In this same place I sit, the same place as before
Well, I came all the way here just to watch you walk out that door

[Bridge]
I didn't ask when you shook your head, I always accepted what you said
As the truth and the truth only
Well, it's not enough that you depend on me and it's not enough that you say you love me
It's not enough to just save face
Because sometimes
You just fall from grace
Sometimes
You just fall from grace

[Outro]
Maybe I am calmer now, maybe things are fine
Maybe I made the whole thing up, maybe it isn't a lie
Maybe the reasons I say these things is to bring you back alive
Ooh, maybe I fought this long as this hard just to make sure you survive
Just to make sure you survive
