[Verse 1]
Say it like you mean it even if you don’t
Tell me everything I want to hear
Tell me everything will be the same, that I won’t be alone
Say it will be fine

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t take another let-down
Give me something solid I can feel beneath my feet
Give me something I can stand on before you go

[Chorus]
Know this, son
The hard truth of life is that everyone leaves and everything dies
There is no exception to the passing of time
Every last leaf will fall and light will fade from your eyes

[Verse 2]
You never told me that anything was easy
Sometimes I wish you had
It might have been nice to feel safe inside
But I guess everything is different looking back

[Chorus]
Know this, son
The hard truth of life is that everyone leaves and everything dies
There is no exception to the passing of time
Every last leaf will fall and light will fade from your eyes
[Outro]
Fall away, fall away
Fall away, fall away
