What if you should fall.......
Yesterday
I vowed that in my heart you could not stay
It's getting harder for me every day
When I see you why can't I turn away?
Yes, it's true
Feel my hearts running out of space for you
Want to rid myself of those feelings blue
Perhaps I'll write a song "A girl I never knew"
What if I should fall
Would you stand and laugh at me
Or save my life for all to see
I think I know
I'll take my leave and go
What if you should fall
I'd jump right into your way
And be your hero for the day
I think I know
I'll take my leave and go
Holding on
Is what I seem to do for far too long
All those things I said, were they so wrong
Your friends, they will mock until I've gone
Coming down
Faster than the hail that hits the ground
Is almost comforting I've found
When I carry my leaden heart around
What if I should fall
Would you stand and laugh at me
Or save my life for all to see
I think I know
I'll take my leave and go
What if you should fall
I'd be there to comfort you
When others walk away, it's true
I think you know
I can't take my leave and go.
I vowed that in my heart you could not stay
It's getting harder for me every day
When I see you why can't I turn away?
Yes, it's true
Feel my hearts running out of space for you
Want to rid myself of those feelings blue
Perhaps I'll write a song "A girl I never knew"
What if I should fall
Would you stand and laugh at me
Or save my life for all to see
I think I know
I'll take my leave and go
What if you should fall
I'd jump right into your way
And be your hero for the day
I think I know
I'll take my leave and go
Holding on
Is what I seem to do for far too long
All those things I said, were they so wrong
Your friends, they will mock until I've gone
Coming down
Faster than the hail that hits the ground
Is almost comforting I've found
When I carry my leaden heart around
What if I should fall
Would you stand and laugh at me
Or save my life for all to see
I think I know
I'll take my leave and go
What if you should fall
I'd be there to comfort you
When others walk away, it's true
I think you know
I can't take my leave and go.
