The Fever and the Fall

“Kelly’s leaving”, he wept into his shirt
“Don’t know why I’m like this, why do I get hurt
I took her money, made her cry, but still I don’t know why
Now I am alone”

Jimmy hurt me, I don’t know why I stayed
I kept believing that one day he’d change
I tried to mold him, make him mine
But he pulled back hard all the time
Now I am alone

It’s never ending, it goes on for years
Speak of the devil and there he appears
I’ll be the fever, you be the fall
And together we’ll be nothing at all
Now we are alone

I’ll be the fever, you be the fall
And together we’ll be nothing at all
Now we are alone
