Sarah McKaughlin - Fallen:

Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.

I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...


--MEANING OF THE SONG--
I personally think it's about getting into a relationship, thinking "this is going to last forever", even though the person she's with doubts that, because he knows her better.

Anyway, they get into a relationship, and she messes up. She either loses interest, gets sidetracked, gets busy with life, and she's saying, "Don't come around saying 'I told you so'". It's almost like she's saying that she KNOWS her faults. And she KNOWS she messed up, and she doesn't need to hear it from everyone, because she hears it from herself all the time.

Hence, "truth be told I've tried my best". She tried her hardest with this person, but "the cost was so much more then I could bear", meaning she couldn't put up with it. So she's fallen. She sunk. She feels like crap because of what she's done. Her friends want to stand by her, but she feels gulity, because she KNOWS it's her fault. So she's wondering if they're really friends or not.

"We believe that we could change ourselves", she's referring to herself. She told herself that she wouldn't do this again, but she ended up doing it anyway.

Hey! If we can solve any problem
Then why do we lose so many tears
Oh, and so you go again
When the leading man appears

Always the same thing
Can't you see, we've got everything goin' on and on and on

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Go on and go free, yeah
Maybe you're too close to see
I can feel yor body move
It doesn't mean that much to me

I can't go on sayin' the same thing
Just can't you see, we've got everything do you even know we know

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you, oh
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

I can't go on sayin' the same thing
'Cause baby, can't ya see, we've got everything goin' on and on and on

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

About This Video
Today, today I bet my life

You have no idea

What ...
Today, today I bet my life
You have no idea
What I feel inside
Don't, be afraid to let it show
For you'll never know
If you let it hide


I love you
You love me
Take this gift and don't ask why
Cause if you will let me
I'll take what scares you
Hold it deep inside
And if you ask me why I'm with you
And why I'll never
Leave
Love will show you everything



One day
When youth is just a memory
I know you'll be standing right next to me

I love you
You love me
Take this gift and don't ask why
Cause if you will let me
I'll take what scares you
Hold it deep inside
And if you ask me why I'm with you
And why I'll never
Leave
My love will show you everything
My love will show you everything
My love will show you everything
My love will show you everything

When this first came out and my son was younger(obviously)he used to sing,

Everytime you go away
You take a piece of meat with you.

he thought those were the words.
