i was crying
you were smiling
i was new to this world
you were tired of this world

i was crying
crying all the pain
the worst place i've ever been
the worst moment i've ever seen

you were smiling
you were laughing
having all the fun
while i'm experiencing all the pain

seconds, minutes
hours, days
months, years went on
and things then changed

i grew up
you grew old
i grew tall
you are still small

we met in a place
where everyone's just a face
things are real
but my thoughts weren't

you were there standing
i was there sitting
you do all the talking
while i just kept on listening

i kept my eyes on you
i kept on listening to you
i knew there was something there
i knew you'd never care

it started as a joke
continued as a thought
it was just an attraction
that became infatuation

i know this is wrong
for my spirit isn't that strong
for me to run to
for me to hold on to

i've always wanted to tell you something
the fact that to me you're everything
everything i want, everything i need
though i know God would forbid

this is a fantasy
hidden by reality
these are secrets
i choose to keep from the world

so i guess you now know
the reasons why i wanna go
away from you, away from me
because of the things i forbid myself to see

so let me just end this
by saying thank you
by letting you know that i'll get over you
and by telling you i'm falling from you
