Lyrics

IT AINT THE FALL THAT KILLS YA
DARYL BURGESS / ROGER KAYE C-2012

WE WERE TWO HEART BROKE FOOLS SITTING IN A BAR DRINKING BEER
HE SAID I HAD A SINKING FEELING THAT THE END WAS DRAWING NEAR
SHE'D LOST THAT SOFT SWEET TOUCH
THE ONE I LOVED SO MUCH
BUT I DID'NT FEEL LIKE DYING TILL SHE'D FINALLY HAD ENOUGH

WELL IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN
BEFORE YOU HIT THE GROUND
YOU WONDER HOW FAR CAN A BROKEN HEART DESCEND

OH BUT IT AINT THE DROP
IT'S THAT SUDDEN STOP
THAT ALWAYS SEEMS TO GET YOU IN THE END
LET ME TELL YOU FRIEND
IT AINT THE FALL THAT KILLS YA
IT AINT THE FALL THAT KILLS YA

WELL I KNEW IT WAS TRUE AND EVERY WORD HE SAID WAS RIGHT
CAUSE I'LL BE WALKING OUT THAT DOOR TO AN EMPTY BED TONIGHT
NO MATTER HOW MUCH I'D PRAY
I COULD'NT MAKE HER STAY
BUT IT REALLY DID'NT HIT ME TILL THAT MOVING TRUCK ROLLED AWAY

IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN
BEFORE YOU HIT THE GROUND
YOU WONDER HOW FAR CAN A BROKEN HEART DESCEND

OOOH BUT IT AINT THE DROP
IT'S THAT SUDDEN STOP
THAT ALWAYS SEEMS TO GET YOU IN THE END
LET ME TELL YOU FRIEND
IT AINT THE FALL THAT KILLS YA
IT AINT THE FALL THAT KILLS YA

SHE WAS THE ONLY LOVE I'VE EVER KNOWN.
AND WHEN SHE LET ME GO, I......... DROPPED LIKE A STONE

AND IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN
BEFORE YOU HIT THE GROUND
YOU WONDER HOW FAR CAN A BROKEN HEART DESCEND

OH BUT IT AINT THE DROP
IT'S THAT SUDDEN STOP
THAT ALWAYS SEEMS TO GET YOU IN THE END
LET ME TELL YOU FRIEND
IT AINT THE FALL THAT KILLS YA
IT AINT THE FALL THAT KILLS YA
IT AINT THE FALL THAT KILLS YA
