Text: Amel Larrieux. Down.

Down, where I'm going is, down
'Cause you dance me around
Made me too dizzy to see

Down, boy, did you let me down?
There's a permanent frown
Where my smile used to be

Pride has kept me from crawling
But sorrow is constantly calling
'Cause you are the man who's not falling for me

Down, I'm the fool of the town
Someone send in the clowns
That song's about me

Carelessly I let you saunter in
And out of the chambers of my heart
Disguised as a gentleman

Heartlessly and much to my chagrin
You quickened your step as you left
And that's where my soliloquy begins

Down, isn't it profound?
You're the wolf on the bound
I'm a helpless sheep

Carelessly I let you saunter in
And out of the chambers of my heart
Disguised as a gentleman

Heartlessly and much to my chagrin
You quickened you step as you left
And that's where my soliloquy begins

Down, my heart makes not a sound
It's somewhere on the ground
Breaking beneath my feet
