My Own Fall

You were born toes over the edge
Sixteen miles high
When you were born they failed to inform ya
That boys aren’t built for flying
You inched closer to the ledge
Arms out wide as if to receive the sky
And in a thousand frozen faces
Yours was the only one dare crack a smile
And I heard you
And I heard you whisper
I can break my own fall, break my own fall
I can break
I can break my own fall, break my own fall
And if I break it’s my own fault
I was born holding my breath
I was born on the edge of my seat
I was born loving you while you danced through your days on a balance beam
I saw you take that fateful step like something from a dream
And in a thousand empty eyes mine were the only ones dare watch you leap
And I heard you
And I heard you whisper
I can break my own fall, break my own fall
I can break
I can break my own fall, break my own fall
And if I break it’s my own fault
Well maybe you’re the one that ended up on the news
But I, I got broken
I got broken too
Yeah maybe you’re the one that ended up on the news
But I, I got broken
I got broken too
And I need you to know, to know I don’t need you
Yeah you hurt me this time
But darling here’s the truth
I, I can break my own heart
I can break my own heart
I can break
I can break my own heart
I can break my own heart
And if I break it’s my own fault
I can break my own fall, break my own fall
And if I break it’s my own, well it’s my own fault
