Free Falling

by Danielle   Nov 25, 2008


I don't wanna be that girl who laughs the loudest
Or the girl struggling to stand amongst the crowd
I don't wanna be known as the girl afraid to be alone
And I don't wanna be the girl you call at 3 in the morning
Cause you know I'm not going to be home
I don't wanna be known for this
And this isn't how I want my story to end

It's safe here
Flying among the clouds
I don't feel the pain that coarses through my veins
Nothing can touch me -- not even your words
And the sting of his hand?
It doesn't bother me, not here
Not when I'm high
Soaring beyond this world we've created

I don't wanna be the girl that fills the silence
It's too hard to face
For it screams the truth
Echoing my shouts of pain
Begging him to leave me be
Please don't tell me we've had this discussion
Don't tell me, I swore I'd leave
Cause I won't remember
So please don't
Just save your breath

It's safe here
Flying high
And the pain -- it doesn't hurt
Nothing can touch me here
It's my protection
Can you tell me, I'll feel this safe when I come back down?
It's safe here
High above this life I'm trying to escape

The night is calling
Whispering to come and play
To taste it's sweet nectar
An escape from this constant pain
I'm falling
Tumbling faster then I can catch myself
And I'm the only one to blame

It's safe here
High above this crumbling life
These bruises, they're not real
Not here above the distant shouts
Nothing can touch me here
Can't you see?
It's safe here
Soaring above this life

I'm free falling
Spinning around and around
Looking for myself through battered eyes
Struggling to find a friend
Lost in these tears I cry
And I feel it, feel the pain of losing me
To a world I once thought was the very breath in me
I see you standing there
Hand out, reaching for me
And I ask you: will I ever find me again?
