"Always" lyrics - THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE

Repeating words until they're true
It slows the breathing
Pretend they never came from you
It kills the feeling

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm not what you want
You said what I never could
We're falling apart
You said that we never would

[Chorus:]
It's not what I want, it's wearing you down
We're back where we started, no turning around
We're falling apart, I'm tearing you down
It's not what I want now

Before you walk, you'll learn to fall
We'll stop and count to ten
We'll take these pictures off the wall
We'll stop and start again

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm not what you want
You said what I never could
We're falling apart
You said that we never would

[Chorus:]
It's not what I want, it's wearing you down
We're back where we started, no turning around
We're falling apart, I'm tearing you down
It's not what I want...

[Post-Chorus:]
For always, always
In all ways, always
(Always)

[Bridge:]
We only go so far
It's not what I want for (always)
We only go so far
It's not what I want now

[Alternate Chorus]
You're not in my heart, I'm wearing you down
I'm back where I started, no turning around
You're falling apart, I'm tearing you down
It's not what I want

[Post-Chorus:]
For always, always
In all ways, always
