And Down, Down I Fell

I can almost taste the wind
Whipping across my face,
As you stare away from me,
Your gaze locked out in space.
And you'd be gone from then on,
Without another word,
I think I'm falling down,
Within your darkened disregard.
And falling apart.

I found something in you,
That I didn't expect to see,
But it brought my soul to life,
I guess you didn't see it in me.
And now your eyes will fill with hate,
The damage crept into,
Whenever you see my face,
'Cause I wasn't enough for you.
When I fell for you.

I said I'd write you a letter,
Without any tears,
I said I won't fall apart,
Like I had done for years.
But you were with someone new
When I fell for you.

You can't expect for my heart to take
All this pain and then not break,
When I even hear your name,
But I guess I am to blame.
You can't understand the pain
With blood always running cold,
For you I'll cut within the vein,
And do just as I was told.
There's no more point to growing old.

I said I'd write you a letter,
Without any tears,
I said I won't fall apart,
Like I had done for years.
But you were with someone new
When I fell for you.

Throw away our picture frames,
Ignore the bed in which I lay.
Take seven months down from the wall,
And just wait for me to fade away.

With my blood all over your room,
You can paint across the stain,
Just turn your head away,
And pretend you didn't know my name.

I said I'd write you a letter,
Without any tears,
I said I won't fall apart,
Like I had done for years.
I guess there was nothing to do
When I fell for you.
