Fallin

I guess it all feels better when the thread is brand new
You’re shielded from the weather, nothing’s threatening you
But sooner or later those sweater seams become shreds
And all those dreams in your head are memories you want dead
My mind’s a rotten egg, good memories have gone bad
I can’t throw em in the can so they remind me what I had
And all those choices I made have left a poisonous pain
It’s hard to tell if I’m sane while you loiter in my brain
I tried to smoke you outta my mind, I guess you didn’t mind
I’ll pour you out in a rhyme, like the rest of these lines
You were the best to me why, why’d I never give it back?
Now that I’m lookin back, that’s a selfish way to act
Too obsessed with the reflection, no attention for you
My obsession with drugs left little love to prove
Cause that was my first love, but you were more than an affair
I guess she never let go, so it was never really fair
For me to put you there and try to compare it all
I brought us high in the sky to set us up for the fall
And I could see you slippin but I didn’t even trip
Gravity stole you and I heard it leave your lips 

[Chorus]
I
I’m falling
Falling for you
I wish you were too
Well I’d chase you

But I can’t
Say I love you
When it’s not true
Keep falling

There’s a crack in the structure, there’s a rip in the threads
One little move, it’s comin down on our heads
Everybody fled, we just laid there instead
Cuz in the end we’re dead and I made both of our beds
I could see it killin you a little too late
Stumbled out of the rubble n tried to drag you away
Under the weight of the ruins we used to call home
Til it all collapsed, now I guess I’m on my own
In a flash I’m alone, I tried walkin away
But you made me look back and what I saw made me stay
 You taped the remains but I could see the place wobbling
Standing on shaky ground, beggin me to come follow ya
Trapped me with your tears they could alter the atmosphere
One minute my path was clear and now I’m stepping toward my fear
And with every step I take I feel the weight of my mistake and as the ground begins to break I watch you fall and all I hear is

[Chorus]

It’s like they say what goes up has gotta come down
So when you’re high off of love you know what’s comin around
You’re runnin straight at the ground but you don’t see shit comin
Until all of sudden you’re lying on the ground wonderin
How you can feel all the pain but you can’t seem to find your heart
It doesn’t feel like you can breathe but you’re breathing so hard
Watched it all fall apart, but it was cracked from the start
You just ignored it, like the dam in New Orleans, it fell hard
Everything was good when you were acting so flirty
I told ya - don’t hurt me, you left me - cold turkey
Alone it’s a cold journey, I’m stranded but don’t worry
You already stole my heart so pain just won’t hurt me
I’m no match for you dear, send me into the stratosphere
One minute my path was clear and now I'm steppin toward my fear
And with every step I take, I feel the weight of my mistake
And as the ground begins to break you watch me fall and disappear as
