Falling for you was never the plan.

From the jump we floated peacefully

Until we hit land.  

In the few moments we shared together

Floating in mid air we were all that mattered.  

Butterflies fluttered in my stomach at all times

From the sight of you,

Smell of you,

Or just to hear your voice chime...

Falling for you was never the plan.  

Closed my eyes and stepped off the ledge.  

Tranced by your smile I was helpless & beguiled,

Thoughts of romance swarmed in my head.  

In senseless war with cupid

Now a victim to Truth

Tending to wounds that bandages will never heal...

Falling for you was never the plan.

Out of trust I fell back into your arms.  

Bumped my head on the ground

Looked up saw you weren't around

Called your name fervently

In hopes you'd make out the sound of my voice

& make it back to me.  

I lay stranded on a beach of uncertainty

Staring out into a salty sea of lies...

Falling for you was never the plan.

Countless lovers fall for you,

Well people like you, like souls

Outstretched arms towards Heavens' gates.

Hopes lifted so high,

Draw you in for good times,

Then discard you with bullshit goodbyes.  

Leave you reeking of

spiteful,

hateful, 

hurt

feelings,

sick to your stomach thinking about it

so you're willing to do anything to solace the

pain.

Have you tossing & turning in your sleep,

Puzzled over what went wrong

In thoughts so deep,

Hoping that bastard receives agony

You have reaped to the point it drives you

insane.

IT HURTS SO BAD!

IT HURTS SO BAD!

WHY DO THESE

THOUGHTS OF YOU 

HURT SO BAD!

Lord, please cease the memories from replaying...

I'm trying to meet someone new

In hopes that they can renew

My peace so my life may continue.  

But some feelings never fade,

Lying to self & hiding them away,

Then lie to them

As they ask me, "What's wrong?"...

Months pass yet I'm still subdued,

Sweet lies like, "It's me, it's not you."

(unknowingly baiting them on).  

Of course these actions aren't right,

This new love has turned trite & now

My old sad song has been passed along.

Yes,

Falling for you was not my plan,

I vow to never fall again

Or hear this broken record that we play replay.
