Lyrics
The Fall
Ed Verner © 2009
Now I can see that
You need to be by the fall
The little bit of my heart there is
For you, you will break in two
Why try, when I know the end
I'll cry, and you'll pretend
There was once when I had your
Heart and I touched your soul
But I slipped and fell in love
And I must let you go
Why try, when I know the end
I'll cry, and you'll pretend
Now when our eyes meet
And we pass on by
I long for your lips and
I miss those awkward good-byes
Why try, when I know the end
I'll cry, and you'll pretend
But it's not time yet to say Goodbye
Meet me
Come find me
Meet me there
Find the energy to be near me
Make the time and the place to hear me
Realize there is no reason to fear me
Now I can see that
You need to be by the fall
Don't we all?
