Falling in love is Icarian
Too close too fast
You get burned
You fall down, down, down
Shaking off the dirt
Wondering what you were thinking
Never associating it with the truth
Absorbing all the blame
Consuming all the pain
Trying to focus on the good
Sucking on the dregs of a suicidal love life
Lies bleed from your ears
Emptying out everything that once was good and true
Dusting off the defensiveness
Cracking open your heart’s firewall once again
Trying to trust that one will be right
Because closing off
Ejecting the disk
Throwing away the file
Isn’t living
Always on the run from love
Becausing caring for someone is like holding onto a ledge
Either you pull each other up
Or you let it die
