Detached

Falling in love means falling apart

It always ends up with a broken heart

It’s been fifteen years since I’ve written these words

But now they remind me of how it still hurts

It’s the same story with a different twist

That same old song in a different mix

It would be a shame if we didn’t try

It would be a shame if we let it die

I was on fire

But I forgot how it burns

I wanted to hold you

But I said the wrong words

I wanted you too much and too fast

And then it was over before it could last

I tried to climb your mountain but I took the fall

I pushed you away because I wanted it all

(In my heart a brutal beating)

First you learn how to forget

It becomes easy

Then you learn not to regret

You destroy the pieces

I’m detached from your gravity

I’m floating into space

A million falling stars around me

I can wish whatever I want

Will you catch me when I fall

Will you catch me when I fall in love again
