I heard that you jumped a train
All I said seemed in vain
I saw you dancing with your death
Waiting for its last caress
Am I supposed to be impressed?
Stay up late and clean your mess?
Am I supposed to watch you fall
From great heights forever more?

I said I'd be waiting
I said I'd be waiting
But you didn't leave me
But you didn't leave me a thing

I know that we're made of dreams
Music, books and mean machines
You're laughing like a diamond shines
I fail to tell you all the time
That I can't stand standing by
To see you fail, see you die
Am I supposed to watch you fall
From great heights forever more?

I said I'd be waiting
I said I'd be waiting
But you didn't leave me
But you didn't leave me a thing

I heard that your kingdom fell
That no one was around to tell
If you laughed or if you cried
The day your luck said goodbye
You told me just wait and see
Things will turn eventually
Am I supposed to watch you fall
From great heights forever more?
