  • And my words will be here when I'm gone
    As I'm fading away against the wind
    And the words you left me linger on
    As I'm failing again now, never to change this

    And I'm sympathetic,
    Never letting on I feel the way I do
    As I'm falling apart again at the seam

    And it seems I'm alone here, hollow again
    As I'm flailing again against the wind
    And the scars I am left with swallow again
    As I'm failing again now, never to change this

    And I'm sympathetic,
    Never letting on I feel the way I do
    As I'm falling apart again at the seam
    And I'm sympathetic,
    Never letting on I feel the way I do
    As I'm falling apart again at the seam

    The same old feelings are taking over
    And I can't seem to make them go away
    And I can't take all the pressure sober,
    But I can't seem to make it go away
    The same old feelings are taking over
    And I can't seem to make them go away
    And I can't take all the pressure sober
    (I can't make it go away. I can't make it go away)

    And I'm sympathetic,
    Never letting on I feel the way I do
    As I'm falling apart again at the seam
    And I'm sympathetic,
    Never letting on I feel the way I do
    As I'm falling apart again at the seam
    And I'm falling, falling, falling,
    Falling, falling, falling, falling
    Apart again at the seam. Writer/s: DALE STEWART, SHAUN WELGEMOED
