Fall

There’s a girl, her name’s Michelle,
She hides her heart away
Behind the lights, the masks, the roles
And the plays,
Afraid to love, Afraid to break
Her smile is a mask,
And her tears form a lake

You see her upon the silver screen,
She’s smiling so bright
But the truth still remains unseen
Her heart locked tight in iron chains,
‘Cause feeling love only brings her pain

Oh, please, will you take a chance?
Let love be your own romance
Break the walls, start a flood,
Feel the fire, feel the blood

In the dark, her fragile fears reside,
A lonely heart’s her lullaby
Painted lips state her starstruck lines
And still her heart’s a lonesome chime

Feel the rain, let it fall,
It’s okay to risk it all
Hold yourself, and cry away
Take a chance to find your way

Feel the rain, let it fall,
It’s okay to risk it all
Break the walls, start a flood,
Feel the fire, feel the blood

Feel the rain, let it fall
It’s okay to risk it all
Feel the rain, and let it fall
You are safe to risk it all

It’s okay to risk it all,
So trust yourself, let teardrops fall
