The Comedown

[Verse 1]
I'm so frustrated, I thought things were going great
I thought I made it, but I just made a big mistake
And now I'm here
Back at the bottom again
The place that I thought I had left
All the lies I told myself were overrated
But I went along with them and I can't take it
My heart's always stronger than my head
And I listened to each word it said

[Chorus]
You had me standing on a ledge so tall
(ledge so tall)
I couldn't help myself I had to fall
(had to fall)
You gave me your hand but I couldn't hold on
The comedown is what I had craved all along
You had me standing on a ledge so high
(ledge so high)
I couldn't help myself I had to try
(had to try)
You gave me your hand but I couldn't hold tight
The comedown was easy and not worth the fight

[Verse 2]
I couldn't see it
I kept climbing up to what I thought I needed
But I was tripping the whole way
I started bleeding
I should have known from the start
That it would just rip me apart
It's amazing what you start to be okay with
What you put yourself through when you have to fake it
When do you take it too far
Before you forget who you are?

[Chorus]
You had me standing on a ledge so tall
(ledge so tall)
I couldn't help myself I had to fall
(had to fall)
You gave me your hand but I couldn't hold on
The comedown is what I had craved all along
You had me standing on a ledge so high
(ledge so high)
I couldn't help myself I had to try
(had to try)
You gave me your hand but I couldn't hold tight
The comedown was easy and not worth the fight
(Oh, not worth the fight)

[Bridge]
You had me standing on a ledge so tall
But I couldn't hold on
I had to fall

[Chorus]
You had me standing on a ledge so high
(ledge so high)
I couldn't help myself I had to try
(had to try)
You gave me your hand but I couldn't hold tight
The comedown was easy and not worth the fight
Ohhhh, ohhh

You gave me your hand but I couldn't hold on
The comedown is what I had craved all along
