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 you

Up close
I fell in love with you
(I met you at an early show)
You fall, I´ll fall along with you
(We travelled ´round the world together)

I just looked out to the point
Where the words, they are hitting me
In a full-on assault
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 fall, I´ll fall along with you
(We travelled ´round the world together)
