The Ballad Lyrics


I just looked into my life
And all I saw was that you’re not coming back
Oh can’t you see when the ballad comes for you
It comes like me
But I won’t be afraid
I can’t seem to find you in this midnight parade
I know it’s all true
When the ballad comes for me it comes like

Up close
I fell in love with you
(I met you at an early show)
You falling
I’ll fall along with you
(We traveled around the world together)

I just looked out to the point
Where the words they are killing me in a full-on [?]
Oh can’t you see when the ballad comes for you
It comes like me

Well, I know I can’t change the times
I know I’m already breaking when I look into your eyes
Oh can’t you see when the ballad comes for you
It comes like me

Up close
I fell in love with you
(I met you at an early show)
You falling
I’ll fall along with you
(We traveled around the world together)
