There are days we seem to speak in different tongues If you're the air I breathe, then I'm the water in your lungs I've tried to give you every reason not to stay 'Cause I know it's harder to watch and wait As I fall away (I fall away) I fall away (I fall away, I fall away) I fall away (I fall away, I fall away) I fall away And every night, I learn the meaning of alone I can hardly face your warm embrace And so I brave the cold We both know it hurts to swallow All the words, the blood, the pills So I clamber for a hand to hold And still, I fall away (I fall away) I fall away (I fall away, I fall away) I fall away (I fall away, I fall away) I fall away (I fall away, I fall away) 'Cause I've been sitting here in silence 'Til my wounds are stitched and sealed And I've waited all my life To feel what you once made me feel But when everything collapsed There was no way to make you stay It's all that I can do to catch the pieces Until I fall away Until I fall away Test me Dismember me I'm begging for a way to be Out of body Out of mind Let this poison make me ill Push me to the brink until I fall away the same I never said I'd be there If the rain became the only thing we see And if we both can't say we're sorry Can we ever meet halfway? It's all that I can do to catch the pieces Until I fall away (away, away) I fall away
