What Goes Up, Must Come Down
-
I like the pain of knowing
I'll never be alive
I like the art of saying
I'm someone I never really was
-
I like the way
You say you love me
When I tell you that I am
Who I'm not
-
I like the kiss you give me
When I tell you that I am
The girl you used to know
But I know, she's gone
-
I love that lie I tell you
When I say I'm here for you
And then you believe me
And you apologize when I fail
-
I love the comfort of knowing
I will never be let down
I love the way I know
I shall never really live
-
I like how I can't give up
Since I'm never giving it a chance
I will not give up
Since I really truly can't
-
I will not let you down
Because you were already on the ground
Right when you took the chance
Right when you trusted me.
-
I love the way I can look at you down there
And observe everything
Because if I were holding on to you
You'd be too close for me to see the big picture
-
So I'll push you away
With the way I am who I'm not
And you can try and try
But I'll never love.
-
Because I love the way I have this comfort
Of never jumping up
And never falling down
Since I'm always on the ground, stable as can be.
-
And yet you keep telling me its fun up there
Up in the sky, I mean
You say it’ll last up there, and the fall isn’t always hard
But what goes up must come down.
-
And what if I jump too high,
And end up hitting a star
I don’t want to shine
It might burn.
-
You say you’ll catch me when I fall
But why would I trust you
When I know I wouldn’t do the same
I would let you crash.
-
If only I could be a rocket
And just keep flying up
Because down here on the ground
The dirt isn’t as comforting as the air.
