Slapstick Heart

Painted smile but i don’t feel the part
In dream i hold your kinfe over my heart
The edge is higher the closer i get
When i jump you move the net
I keep falling for this slapstick heart
Hanging on your words
I thought i’d known
The rope is cut and i’m falling on my own
The comedy in the tragic disbelief
Of only human
To make you laugh is there nothing i won’t do Any pain i won’t go through
Lost my balance fell like rain
I half expected you to do the same
But you cried an ocean and broke my fall
That’s when i knew i couldn’t swim at all
