Falling

For three hours straight
We were on the phone
And it felt so good
Not to be alone
Never would have thought
You were holding so much back
Never could have known
That the whole thing was an act
And I regret hanging up that night

Three in the morning
And you’re calling me
But I can’t pick up
Cause I’m still in a dream
I wish I had known
It would make all the difference
I wish I had known
That I could have saved your life
That night

And then I’m running
Yeah, I’m running

So I scream out your name
As you turn away from me
And I cry for you to stay
Cause this is where you’re meant to be
I beg you
Please don’t leave me
Not tonight
Things just aren’t right
But don’t quit
This isn’t it
But you tell me it’s too late
And you’re gone
It’s been too long
So I watch you
As you fall
Sometimes I wish
I never was alive at all
Oh why am I alive at all?

Four long days since you got away
Four eternities since that night
What more could I have done that day?
I didn’t do anything right
I miss you so much
Now that I’m all alone
It’ll never be the same
No one can shine
Doing what you shone

And in my dreams
I’m running
Running

And I scream out your name
As you turn away from me
And I cry for you to stay
Cause this is where you’re meant to be
I beg you
Please don’t leave me
Not tonight
Things just aren’t right
But don’t quit
This isn’t it
But you tell me it’s too late
And you’re gone
It’s been too long
So I watch you
As you fall
Sometimes I wish
I never was alive at all
Oh why am I alive at all?

You were all alone
A broken soul
But you were all I had
And no one knew
You ripped out my heart
Don’t know where to start
Moving on from you

And when I close my eyes at night
I can see that dying light
See the tears in your eyes
As you said your last goodbyes
And turning your back on me
Saying you were finally free
And again I feel it all
As you turn around and fall

So I scream out your name
As you turn away from me
And I cry for you to stay
Cause this is where you’re meant to be
I beg you
Please don’t leave me
Not tonight
Things just aren’t right
But don’t quit
This isn’t it
But you tell me it’s too late
And you’re gone
It’s been too long
So I watch you
As you fall
Sometimes I wish
I never was alive at all
Oh why am I alive at all?
