Falling in You

Love and pain can dance into the dark
Stepping on each other’s shoes
Seems to be a risky thing opening hearts
I guess it’s just a risk we choose

It hurts when you’re away from me and worse when you’re here
I can never hold you close enough to taste
All the whispers from your spark light up my fear
Fantasies are such a waste

I’m falling in you, I’m falling through
A crack in the earth where love is rebirth

Worry is a useless job, endless and dry
Why can’t I just live this life prepared
Every time you walk away a part of me cries
It scares me that I’m always scared

I’m falling in you, I’m falling through
A piece of your soul where true lovers go

How can I do it
Tell me how can I avoid the constant pain
How can I not lose it
When the only way to give my heart is giving it away
When the only way to give my heart is giving it away to you

How do people make it work, how do they care
Without being paralyzed by love
Every time I think of you the demons are there
I’m learning how to empathize

I’m falling in you, I’m falling through
A world with no hurt, a place with good purpose

How can I do it
Tell me how can I avoid the constant pain
How can I not lose it
When the only way to give my heart is giving it away
When the only way to give my heart is giving it away to you

Watch the stars appear one at a time
Suddenly our eyes are filled
That’s the way you’ve come to me, patient and kind
My reward for sitting still

I’m falling in you, I’m falling through
A hole in the sky that holds you and my love for you
And my love for you
And my love for you
