Well, there's no more big time No more bright lights Just a guy who's drinking alone tonight Shoulda walked back your mouth Knocked you off your high horse With all that worthless advice you endorse Lost the limelight you were about What's it like to gradually fade out Used to tear it all down, now you're tearing all up Got 'em drippin’ in your whiskey at the brass mug I've heard it all before The murmurs and the whispers I don't listen anymore Every time I rise, you fall away It's the same story day after day You're voice is like poison You can't be me Every time I rise, you fall away Fall away Nothin's lost, we just don't abuse it We're seven deep, we been caught up writing hits Now you whine, cry, bitch, moan, say it's a waste Sing along while I give you a taste (Yeah, here's to you and your favorite band Yeah, they suck too I hear your cries to the one you know you idolize) I've heard it all before The murmurs and the whispers I don't listen anymore Every time I rise, you fall away It's the same story day after day You're voice is like poison You can't be me Every time I rise, you fall away (Fall away) Keep tellin' those tall tales, and I'll call you out (I'll call you out) (I'll call you out) Every time I rise you fall away (All those worthless years, they're fading away) Every time I rise you fall away It's the same story day after day You're voice is like poison You can't be me Every time I rise, you fall away (Fall away)
