WHAT GOES UP

What goes up has gotta go down. We were 
Flying high then we smacked the cold, hard ground.
Go tell your friends, they’re eager to know how
Terrible I was for you, they told you so.

Happy birthday, you’re finally free. I’m
Blowing out my candles, but don’t think of me. Just
Plant your seeds now and see how they grow. You
Tore my heart in half so reap what liars sow. Yeah, you
Tore my heart in half so reap what liars sow.

I was saving money to buy you a ring. I
Nearly asked your father, what a foolish thing.
You betrayed me, that’s all I can say. You
Stabbed me in the back while you were worlds away.
Life is just a game so let the the children play. It’s
Not like I was what you wanted anyway.

What goes up has gotta go down. We were
Flying so high, then we smacked the cold, hard ground. I
Can’t believe that you did this to me. Now I’ve
Lost the love I had for you entirely.

I was saving money to buy you a ring. I
Nearly asked your father, what a foolish thing.
You betrayed me, that’s all I can say. You
Stabbed me in the back while you were worlds away.
Life is just a game so go ahead and play. It’s
Not like you were what I wanted anyway.

What goes up has gotta go down. I
Promised you my life and then you looked around. I
Can’t believe that you did this to me. Now I’ve 
Lost the love I had for you entirely. Yeah I’ve
Lost the love I had for you entirely. Well I’ve 
Lost the love I had for you entirely.
What goes up...
