The Long and Lonely Fall

I never said I wanted to write this song

Trade my thoughts to anyone

I never said that my soul was up for sale

To anybody that came along

There's no more hold on this shaky ground I'm on

No more feelings left on pause

And there's no more words to tell the tale

Of all the damage that I have done

It seems when you fall there's only one direction

No stops and no turns, just down, that's all

Guess I wasn't strong when I tried so hard to hold on

Guess I wasn't ready for the long and lonely fall

If I had known I was gonna live this alone

I would have taken care of myself

If I had known that it's gonna get harder

I would have never, never pretended so long

It seems when you fall there's only one direction

No stops and no turns, just down, that's all

Guess I wasn't strong when I tried so hard to hold on

Guess I wasn't ready for the long and lonely fall

Out on a limb, over the edge, out of line

Hanging on a thread that's too thin to climb

It seems when you fall there's only one direction

No crack in the sky to climb up on

Guess I wasn't strong, I tried so hard to hold on

Guess I wasn't ready for the long and lonely fall

Guess I wasn't strong when I tried so hard to hold on

Guess I wasn't ready for the long and lonely fall
