Im falling through life,
And I don't know what to do
Im falling through this world
And Im clinging on to you
I don't know where it went
And how it got so bad
I don't remember what happened
Or how I got so sad
What's happing to me
Its all falling apart
Everything's gone away
And I don't know where to start
For I have lost my breath and I cannot breathe
I have lost my eyes and I cannot see

Why do they sit to watch me bleed
Why do they all
Point and laugh at me
My father started this game
Kicked me in, to all this shame
But now at least
they'll know my name
I quit, im sorry, I fold
I lose at his game

I stand on the edge
And look so far down
The river flows, steady and calm
As I hold the gun
In my palm

Now far at home
She feels something's wrong
As she sits, and worries
To her favorite song
She closes her eyes
And its me she sees
Sees the gun, and gasps at me
Now she drops, a single tear
I hear her scream
As I pull the trigger, free my fear

Now she wakes, sweat and cold
I take her in my arms and listen
To the nightmare she told
I take her as we fall back in a kiss
Our hands can feel every groove
It was on that night
Our love we proved
The next morning, the sun shines in her eyes
Pools of sun, shine on our sheets
Now we see each other, tired and weak
And We make promises, we pledge to keep

I saved her once before
Pulled her up
And cuddled her on shore
Now its my turn to feel
Pain no more
For that night
There was blood'¦there was gore
Yes it was blessed on bliss
With loves first kiss
And it was me who got saved
Into a brand new dawn'¦

Thanks so much for showing me light
Erasing confusion
And Giving me sight
Now we walk hand in hand
And instead of choosing
To sit
Or weep
It is now
Love
We choose
To keep
