My poppa told me to stay out of trouble

When you've found your girl

Make sure she's for real

I learned that nothing really lasts for ever

I sleep with the scars

I wear that won't heal

They won't heal



'cos every time I seem to fall in love

Crash! Boom! Bang!

I find a heart

But then I hit the wall

Crash! Boom! Bang!

That's the call

That's the game

And the pain stays the same



I'm walking down this empty road to nowhere

I pass by the houses

And blocks I once knew

My momma told me not to mess with sorrow

But I always did

And Lord I still do

I'm still breaking the rules

(I kick it up I kick it down)



'cos every time I seem to fall in love

Crash! Boom! Bang!

I find a heart

But then I hit the wall

Crash! Boom! Bang!

That's my real middle name

It has always bin the same



I still feel the heat

And the taste of the kissing

Shattered by rain

And the wild holy war



I kick it up

I kick it down



And everytime I seem to fall in love

Crash! Boom! Bang!

I find the roses dying on the floor

Crash! Boom! Bang!

That's the call

That's the game

And the pain stays the same

That's my real middle name

It has always been the same

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah

Uh-huh

Bin the same

Bin the same

It has always bin the same
