Just look
Don’t even think
One look to take my breath away
One moment to change everything

You act as if it its not working
That I’m not falling off the cliff
The cliff that you walked me up to
The one moment you decided for me

Your job was to protect me
Not help me fall
into failure
That we were both so afraid of
You promised

Go ahead and act
The act you put on
in front of everyone else
Be the act that I was afraid of
It wouldn’t phase me in the end
and you knew it

The times you were afraid to move
Feet pinned to the ground
Mouth sewn shut
Like a doll
No emotion at all

I knew your thoughts
Every word
Every action
Every emotion
Like a billboard your face said it all

Told me everything I needed to know
Just to walk off the cliff
The cliff you built for me
The one you walked me to

So I'll jump
You won’t follow
No one will know why
We had it all
love

But they didn’t know
You were building me a cliff
For a year
An eternity
A cliff that I will have to face  
That I face today
And if I jump
There will be no goodbye

Just the wind in my face
Your thoughts all coming to you
Can't take it back now

Im just falling
And you will never be able to stop me
