Used to be the girl
Who could hold the front
And keep a fake smile from faltering

Used to be the one
Who never cried
Not even a tear

Used to be able
To walk on the tightrope
And not lose balance

Used to never
Cry or complain
Just took it all
--------------------------
Now i'm the girl
Who is letting it all slip
Trying hard to keep the smile in place

Now i'm the one
Who lets no one see
The tears that get me to sleep

Now i'm losing
The balance
As i walk a little closer to the edge...

I used to have

Nothing

To lose

But now...



Now i have you.


So why
Do i find the razor sliding


Replacing this new ache
in my chest


Am i falling

Am i dying

Am i trying

Am i tired of taking shit


Needing to be held

Needing to feel real laughter

Needing to smile

Needing to be needed


Do i know what i'm saying?

Am i still as strong as i used to be?

Was i ever ok?

Can i take it...?


I dont know.
I guess you could say...



I'm falling
