Fall
For as long as I can remember
I've never looked ahead,
I've always walked with my head down
so I could place every step,
I've often been too cautious
to keep up in the race,
and though I fell behind
I've never fallen out of place,
I've never held on to anything when I sensed any doubt
and I've never let go of anything I couldn't live without,
I've never shown a smile I thought could be turned to a frown
and I've never stood up when I could've been knocked down,
I've never given up my heart without the exchange of another
and I'll never love care-free without the same from the other,
Because I've always been too afraid to fall for all I had to lose
I've always been too afraid to fall, except in love with you
