You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first

Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go

And the history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us
And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old lights, they're just old lights

You came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful
And came into my bed

Oh, I cut your hair myself one night
With a pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And you told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me 'till the mornin' light

Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah, we couldn't destroy a single one
And the history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once
