Break My Fall

Weakened by his ocean-blue eyes And feeling so vulnerable because of his size I threw a penny in a wishing well And wished you'd take me away from this Hell The face you see in front of you To some is not a pretty view Beneath my skin and blood through my veins Hides a numerous amount of remembered shame But still the memories of you guide my heart And constantly tell me soon we won't be apart But now an old friend comes along Someone at one point had me so strong But at the same time he made me weak Because our little relationship was so bleak Re-enacting my painful past My shallow breathing won't last Without you here to hold me sane And only me is who to blame I don't intend to lose you at all But what do you expect when you can't break my fall?
