My Turn To Fall Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We had it all
Didn't want for anything
No shelter, no bread, no circus
But where was your word on Sunday afternoons
When they were needed the most
Carousels and carnivals while you stayed at home
Spent the days believing that it was the only way to go

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I waited for you
Vivid imagination saved you
The woods out back and the bicycle track wasn't nearly good enough, no
Your old record collection, the Elo and the Beatles section
(And you go)
Be my guest - try your best

[Chorus 1]
I'll be right there with you, soon it'll be my turn to fall
(Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's your daddy after all?)
Your gaze is steady but the mirror keeps on crashing down
(Mirror mirror off the wall)

[Verse 2]
You are a brilliant mind, could accomplish anything
No problem, no challenge, the greater
But I didn't care at all as the seconds ticked away I know ‘cause I counted them all
Holidays and summer camps while you stayed at work

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I waited for you, I know that you tried your best
But sad to say, though you meant it well it was never good enough
Now I'm walking down your high street. While you say
"Be my guest, do what you can, little man
Pride precedes the fall"

[Chorus 2]
I'll be right there with you
Soon it'll be my turn to fall
(Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's your daddy after all)
Your gaze is steady but the mirror keeps on crashing down
(Mirror mirror off the wall)
I had it sorted
I knew what tricks to not fall for
(You are misstra know it all, till you find out on your own)
Now, enjoy your last laugh
I will live to make it ours
(We'll be misstras know f*ck all together, together, together)
