It's gone.
I don't know where it went, but somewhere down the line I lost it.
I saw you, and got to know you and my common sense left me.
I knew you weren't good for me.
Trust me I knew.
But I shut away my fears, and grasped onto this feeling of comfort and warmth.
I think I was falling for you.

It's gone.
I don't know where it went, but somewhere down the line I lost it.
You opened up to me, and I you, and my walls came down.
I knew you were going to hurt me.
Trust me I knew.
But I shut away my fears, and let you hold me and kiss me.
I think I was falling for you.

It's gone.
I don't know where it went, but somewhere down the line I lost it.
I thought about you all the time, and yearned to be with you, and my heart was in your hands.
I knew you were going to crush me.
Trust me I knew.
But I shut away my fears, and allowed it to happen.
I think I was falling for you.

You did everything I knew you would.
You weren't good for me, you hurt me, you crushed me.
I gave you almost every part of me, and you took it, making empty promises along the way.
And I held tight to those promises, for they were all I had to keep me sane.
Am I surprised you did this?
Part of me says yes, because I didn't want to believe you would.
Part of me says no. I was foolish and naive.
I fell too quickly and this is the what happened.
