Like From Space the Falling of Knives

How many times can a heart break?
How many times can it heal?
It is not something you can fake.
Not something you want to feel.

Falling in love there's more to learn.
Just ask anyone you know.
Sooner or later comes your turn.
All part of the greater show.

Some think they can play a good game.
Fool around and take the fall.
To find things cannot be the same.
When you find you're not as tall.

One day we look back with new eyes.
To see the one we don't know.
Instead of dealing with the lies.
We go with the famous flow.

The suffering in all our lives.
written in a persons' face.
Like from space the falling of knives.
When life is a constant chase.

well put, I think it has to break, to be able to feel.

Thanks, Keith, I guess it is practice, in a life that ends in... death.?!
