i thought that i was falling in love
but little did i know, i was falling from above
because my heart went pitter-patter
i thought that my emotions were getting fatter
silly me, to think such a thought
i've already given love everything i've got
five years it took, stole, and ran
it left me a jaded, bitter, angry man
how could i forget, how bad it hurt
when it took my heart, and threw it in the dirt
left it lonely, hurt and abused
i begged it to let me up, but it refused
love, loved to see me in such pain
my light and spirit, both started to wane
i tried real hard to figure it out
but i no longer knew what love was about
we're told it's special, and full of bliss
i never thought it would treat me like this
so, i promised myself, if i fell again
that i wouldn't go hanging from a fragile limb
i'll make sure it's sturdy and strong
so, that when it goes inevitably wrong
i won't fall as far as i did before
or maybe, i just shouldn't fall in love anymore
