First

[Verse]
If someone should ask you,
Then say that he fell away,
From what he wanted at first (x2)
From what he wanted (repeat)

As he fell away - As she fell away (x3)
He won't come out & play music any more

[Verse] (alt: all "he" = "she")
[Verse] (alt: all "he" = "they")

[Chorus]
As he fell away - As she fell away (x4)
As he fell away...
-(Try)- Tried, I couldn't kick it, no-
-(I'm taking mine, I'm taking mine now)-
-[repeat x7]- ...(Try) I tried, I couldn't kick it...

If someone should ask you,
Then say he sleeps all day
That he feels he's gone, son
And always will be betrayed
...Betrayed! (x4)

[Chorus] ...As she, (x3)
