lyrics

It's like I've been thrown here
Into this moment
I never come here easily
Thought I was standing
Next thing I'm crash landing
Don't cut your foot on a piece of me

I can lip read as I'm falling
Whisper it again assure me
It's nothing but a bad dream
Don't take it so seriously

You're taking all the bullets for me
Smoothing out my broken story
Straight like a laser beam
And you make it look easy

You do what all the king's men couldn't do
You do what all the king's men couldn't do
Gather me up and
Put me back together
You do what all the king's men couldn't do
You do what all the king's men couldn't do
Gather me up and
Put me back together
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh ooh-ooh
Oh ooh-ooh

I walk through December
Just more to remember
Caught by the cold and I'm shivering
I'm fine if you say so
You make me a brave girl
One day I'll thank you for everything
Everything everything

I can lip read as I'm falling
Whisper it again assure me
It's nothing but a bad dream
Don't take it so seriously

You're taking all the bullets for me
Smoothing out my broken story
Straight like a laser beam
And you make it look easy

You do what all the king's men couldn't do
You do what all the king's men couldn't do
Gather me up and
Put me back together
You do what all the king's men couldn't do
You do what all the king's men couldn't do
Gather me up and
Put me back together
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh ooh-ooh
Oh ooh-ooh

I fell off, off the wall
(Keep your eyes on me)
While I was falling, falling
(Keep your eyes on me, saying)
I heard you calling, calling
(I can lip read as I'm falling)
Say it's nothing but a bad dream
(Whisper it again assure me)
Don't take it so seriously
It's nothing but a bad dream
Bad dream
Bad dream

You do what all the king's men couldn't do
You do what all the king's men couldn't do
Gather me up and
Put me back together
You do what all the king's men couldn't do
You do what all the king's men couldn't do
Gather me up and
Put me back together
(You do what all the king's men couldn't do)
Oh oh oh oh oh
(You do what all the king's men couldn't do)
Oh oh oh oh oh ooh-ooh
Oh ooh-ooh
