Falling Down

So tell me
Why did you cry?
Holding back your tears
Welling within
But smiling on the outside
Was it me?
Was it you?
I hope it was the flowers

I can't sleep
Don't think I will tonight
I'm not with you
But I wish you were
The song you told me?
That was running through your head?
It was already in mine
A long long time ago
Why haven't you called?
I'm still wondering
Are you thinking
Why do you smile when you cry?

You are brave
Much stronger than I ever will be
And that's why you're my fall back crutch
And I want to be
Falling into you forever
Not that I could stop it of course
The way gravity keeps you down

Actually
It's more like the way
A black hole sucks
Consumes
And there's no end to oblivion is it?
You just keep sinking
Curious?
Fearful?
You can't help this feeling
I love you
But you can't hear me now
I'm in too deep
Just want to get out
Don't want to die anymore
If I had a choice that is.

But to see you cry
Just once
Was it worth the fall?
So what are you doing now?
I'm packing my bags
Are you packing yours?
Won't be seeing you for a while
Hope I'll be in your heart
The way you are etched in mine
Forever
Falling.
