"Fall Back To The Earth" lyrics - SLASH

From up high like a satellite
Are you lost among the stars?
Does it hurt?
Don't deny that I could be right
This was hopeless from the start
Have you learned?

[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh, you lose yourself
When you gain the whole world, now you know
Oh, it hurts like hell
'Cause gravity can be so cruel

[Chorus:]
When you fall back to Earth
When you fall back to Earth
It's over, don't pretend
But I'll catch you in the end
As you fall back to Earth

Remember when you were innocent
You were wide-eyed as a child from the start
But your ascent somehow pulled you in
To the same old cliches that broke my heart

[Pre-Chorus:]
No, we lose ourselves
As we gain the whole world we come to know
Oh, it hurts like hell
'Cause gravity can be so cruel

[Chorus:]
When you fall back to Earth
When you fall back to Earth
It's over, don't pretend
But I'll catch you in the end
As you fall back to Earth

[Bridge:]
This wicked world can change us
These lessons learned might save us
For those who bend to kiss the ground

[Guitar break]

[Chorus:]
When you fall back to Earth
When you fall back to Earth
It's over, don't pretend
But I'll catch you in the end
As you fall back to Earth

[Outro:]
Do not be afraid
For I know your pain
I was there so long ago
But my dearest friend
I can lift you up again
Once you fall back to Earth
Once you fall back to Earth
