The Ballad

I just looked into my life

And all I saw was that you're not coming back

Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you

It comes like me?

But I won't be afraid

I can't seem to find you in this midnight parade

I know it's all true

When the ballad comes for me, it comes like you

Up close

I fell in love with you (I met you at an early show)

You falling

I'll fall along with you (We travelled 'round the world together)

I just looked out to the point

Where the words they are hitting me

In a full-on assault

Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you

It comes like me?

Well, I know I can't change the times

I know I'm already breaking when I look into your eyes

Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you

It comes like me?

Up close

I fell in love with you (I met you an early show)

You fall

I'll fall along with you (We travelled 'round the world together)
