painted smile but I don't feel the part
|
in dream I hold your kinfe over my heart
|
the edge is higher the closer I get
|
when I jump you move the net
|
|
I keep falling for this slapstick heart
|
|
hanging on your words
|
I thought I'd known
|
the rope is cut and I'm falling on my own
|
the comedy in the tragic disbelief
|
of only human
|
|
to make you laugh is there nothing I won't do
|
any pain I won't go through
|
lost my balance fell like rain
|
I half expected you to do the same
|
but you cried an ocean and broke my fall
|
that's when I knew I couldn't swim at all
|
