The Fall

Should, as you walked across the room,
Taken a fight in proud
I watch your spirit shine
And hear you laugh out loud
And people gather near
The wisdom and the joy
The love you give away
As I watch you in your element
I wouldn't even know
For in your smiling face
There's nothing there to show
The battle that you wage
The silent war inside
The pain you're going through
And all you want to hide
I know where you are
You're somewhere lost inside
Running from the tide
Running for your life
The evening closes in
Come on it's time to go
Your tiredness is deep
It's starting now to show
The hollowness of your eyes
The aching of your bones
You're telling me the time
I won't leave you alone
But now my love
The hurting has begun
You let me one
Let me be the one
To feel all your pain
And take it all away
I want to take it all
Want to take the fall (for you, I know)
I would give anything (to set you free)
To live and to breathe (Yes, I know)
I would do anything (Just to take it all)
Just to take the fall
The dimming of the light
We play your favorite song
I sometimes wonder now
If you knew all along
I'll be here every day
Until the noise is gone
Until the hurt subsides
Until your peace has come
Until then, my love
I'll give you everything
I only have one wish
That I could give you wings
To fly far away
To where your future calls
Let me take it all,
Let me take the fall (For you, I know)
I would give anything (to set you free)
To live and to breathe (Yes, I know)
I would do anything (Just to take it all)
(For you, I know) I would give anything
(To set you free) To live and to breathe
(Yes, I know) I would do anything
(Just to take it all) To live and to breathe
(For you, I know)
(To set you free)
(Yes, I know)
(Just to take it all)
