Falling Down

Life passes me by, but I don't have the nerve
To smile or even cry, or learn from what I've heard
I know that it's real, I've seen lovers dance
And I've heard of lost romance
But I talk myself out of taking a chance
To show how I feel

I wish I could write a song, but I don't know the words
I wish I could show my heart, but I'd probably just get hurt
You know me, I'm getting back. My feet are steady on the ground
How am I ever gonna fly when I'm scared of falling down?

I've been told that I'm a friend, but I'm only free when I'm alone
What I've said and where I'vе been and what I call a home
Only hiding my real face, so I keep it lockеd inside
Raised and shackled in a shelf, it ain't good for me
The fires of my own hell just so I can keep the pace

I wish I could write a song, but I don't know the words
I wish I could show my heart, but I'd probably just get hurt
You know me, I'm getting back. My feet are steady on the ground
How am I ever gonna fly when I'm scared of falling down?

Life passes me by, but I don't have the nerve
To smile or even cry or learn from what I've heard
And know that it's real, I know that it's real
I know that it's real
