Falling hurts and everyone knows.
Falling just hurts and that's the way it goes.
"When you fall down the only way is up,
Because falling down is quick and getting up is tough"
So I listened to those words as I fell on the concrete
And again when I stumbled and tripped; not discrete.
When I tried to fall asleep with no luck at all,
I realized getting up is hard, but not as hard as the fall.
So when I fell in love, I expected nothing but pain
So I was shocked when the falling felt like something to gain.
Because the 'fall', to me, felt like more like a 'fly'
And getting up isn't tough when you're already in the sky.

Opposites* attract, but we're one in the same.
Brown eyes meet green, saying words our mouths won't.
He nods like he understands and I almost ask him to explain it to me.
Almost, because I nod like I get it too. I don't though
It's clear to both of us how blurry all of this is.
It's easy to see how hard it is to understand.
It's nice to think how bad it could be.
Its odd how normal it feels.
Though it couldnt feel more right to be somewhere so wrong,
I love that I hate to love everything about us.

And I had to walk away
I was just hoping at least he noticed I didn't run

they met in a crowded place
face after face
he saw her a while away but felt so close
he felt too hot in his jacket
she saw him a little closer, her feet wouldn't stop
even though they've been strained in tall shoes all night
she slurred her words to ask him something like
do I know you
his words meshed together that sounded something like
do you want to?
they had no intention of getting to know each other a little better,
just getting to know each other a little better
he eventually got out of his jacket and she didn't need to wear her high heels anymore
the next morning, she and her tall shoes were gone and he wonders
when will the next one night stand stay?...one night stand... stay one night?
but he always leaves the door open when he leaves too so he cant blame her

His words are sweet and calm but they're what I need to get away from. How could you begin to love someone who only has hurt you? I don't want to find out. I need to leave before I fall in love.
I turn around and think I heard someone's heart break. I just cant tell if its his or mine.
