The Fall
When I gave you my love,
I gave it my all.
When I gave you my heart,
I was afraid of the fall.
Now as the clouds
Pass me by,
Knowing my fate,
I understand why.
The climb I made
Was worth this landing
The thing I neglected
Was Preparing.
When I hit the bottom
Shattered pieces of me
Scattered across,
As far as I could see.
I lay here broken,
Trying to heal.
So truly thankful
That I can feel.
And now here I am,
And there goes my life.
But for what we had,
Baby...I'd fall twice.
