better to have loved
to have lost
than to never have to love
maybe not

afraid of this pain
which you can never explain
the one that may result
in the end of the process
of getting too close
the pain of getting hurt
when you give your heart up
spilling its contents like an empty cup

but youve got me
up against the wall
i tripped and lost my balance
some how you broke my fall

scared of the truths i see in your eyes
so clear and burning
like this sun in open skies
confused by the intent of certain words
which i can never hope to interrupt
falling from the pages of a burning heart
the fear of letting go, of tearing apart

written up feelings
with a million different meanings

i'm at a lost for words
because you caught me speechless
with how i am unsure
with all the faces we see are featureless
with nothing left to offer
please, beg to differ

but for some reason
you've got me up against the wall
i tripped and lost my balance
somehow you broke my fall

i've fallen from grace
and landed on my face
i cried out this broken heart
when i loved and let go
and think of it everyday
when a lonely thought
teared me apart

because im not afraid of falling
if there was no where to land
i wouldn't be scared at all

im making up excuses to run away
making up fake reasons
to change with the seasons

floating in the sea
lost without a thought
never found it hard
living the way i did
without getting caught

pieces fall together
binding with eachother
what if i gave up this chance
missed out on this promised dance

what if its only a misconception
an illusion of missed signals
better to have love
and to have lost
than to never have loved at all

my window coat with frost
as my breath freezes in the air
as life tumbles down
far from ever being fair

to have loved
to have lost
id rather never love again

but youve got me
up against the wall
i tripped and lost my balance
when you someone broke my fall

compassion in your eyes
hidden feelings aside
cursed emotion banked inside
confusion rides the tide

when the time comes
i'll whisper my goodbyes
with sullen eyes
and heartbroken skies
