Now that I'm falling
From what I once knew
I can't help but wonder:
Was it me, or is it you?
Were my hopes up too high?
Did I ask for too much?
You are my best friend
And I love you as such
Am I something to you,
Or is it just in my head?
Should I take it all back,
everything that I've said?
You were always right here
So close by my side
All my dark secrets
In you I'd confide
You became my world
It was all about you
I swear I've never felt
A love quite so true
I made you the center
I gave you my all
But I was just setting
Myself up to fall
Everything I needed
I found it in you
Everything I wanted
It was all in there too
I need to detach
And set myself free
But being your captive
Was just fine with me
The best way to hold
Something I love so much
Is ever so loosely
Not to smother with touch
So I'm letting go
Of my iron-clad grip
Because I don't want
Our close friendship to slip
It's so hard for me
Just to let go
I still love you more
Then you'll ever know
I'm sorry I held on
so tightly to you
But you're all that I had
And you're all that I knew
I'm doing much better
-Not depending on you
Thats what I tell myself
But I know its not true
You were my drug
You fixed all my pain
And now that I crave you
You think I'm insane
I know it's unhealthy
To revolve around you
So I'll set myself free
To show my love is true
Though now I seem distant
You still own my heart
I'd die for you gladly
we'll never really be apart
'Cause deep down inside
You've shown me true love
You're like my own angel
From God up above
If you ever feel
Like nobody's there
Just think about me
And how much I care
I'll be here for you
Until the day that I'm dead
When everyone fails you
Come to me instead |
