Maybe
There will come a time
When everyone
Has lost interest
And I’ll be
Left alone

Alone
With my thoughts
Knowing
That there’s
No one left

No one
That cares

Only then
When I know
That no one’s looking
Will I ever
Be able
To say goodbye

Goodbye
Forever

But I've got stage fright
I can’t do it  
When someone’s looking
I’ll wait
Till everyone
Is finally gone

Only then
Will I be
Left alone

Only then
Will I be
Able

Able
To do
What I've waited
So long for

The flip of a switch
And it’s all over

But I stand on the edge

Held back
By something
I can’t see

I can’t see
What it is
But it’s there
Pulling me back

It pulled harder
As I leaned further
Over the edge

Just as I regained my faith
In the force that held me
It disappears

And I fall

A thousand stories
Cut short

Cut short
By my trust

My trust
In something
I’d never seen

And as I fall
I reach out

And every time
I reach
I just
Pull more down
To join me

As  

I

Fall

Wishing

That I had

Never

Reached out

At all
