WHEN YOU HIT THE GROUND
I remember when we dreamed of rainbows
And now it’s all black and white
And even when somebody’s holdin’ you
You feel alone at night
You’re playin’ a game that you’ll never win
And you’ll spend your life dreamin’
Of what might have been
And all of your fast horses
And all your good timin’ friends
Will never put your broken heart back together again
And when the shattered pieces
Of our love lie all around
You’ll see it’s not the fall that breaks you
It’s when you hit the ground
So now you’re getting older
And it’s all too clear to see
That you’re getting so much colder
And you don’t seem happy you’re free
And I watch the teardrops
Roll down your face
When I tell you that another
Has come to take your place
And all of your fast horses
And all your good timin’ friends
Will never put your broken heart back together again
And when the shattered pieces
Of our love lie all around
You’ll see it’s not the fall that breaks you
It’s when you hit the ground
No, it’s not the fall that breaks you
It’s when you hit the ground
