I was young and naive
I lied with him as he lied to me
Over and over again
Let me paint the scene
He'd tell a story and I'd believe
Over and over again

I should've known
He'd let me go
He'd let me go
He yelled down from below

He said
Honey I'll catch you
So I stepped off the ledge
All he had to do was open up his arms
And let me in
But I slipped right through his fingers
As I leaned back without caution
Took a trust fall and I landed at the
I landed at the bottom
I landed at the bottom

Well I brought her up
He called me crazy and played it dumb
Over and over again
I tried to save us
But he drove away so fast it kicked up dust
He left me low with these nights alone
Now I'm thinking back I should have known

He'd let me go
He'd let me go
He yelled down from below

He said
Honey I'll catch you
So I stepped off the ledge
All he had to do was open up his arms
And let me in
But I slipped right through his fingers
As I leaned back without caution
Took a trust fall and I landed at the
I landed at the bottom
I landed at the bottom

And I broke every bone
He didn't even scrape a knee
Now I'm crying on his bed
I stained his California king
And I hate myself
Cause God I know
He's lying through his teeth
Still I'd hold him close if he came back to me

He said
Honey I'll catch you
As he pushed me off the edge
To be honest I don't even think
He'd care if I were dead
I slipped right through his fingers
As I leaned back without caution
Took a trust fall and I landed at the
I landed at the bottom
I landed at the bottom
