"The Falling" lyrics

"The Falling"

How to walk and where to run?
How to walk and where to run?
I see you kissing other peoples arms
I see you kissing in cheap bars
How to walk and where to run?
How to walk and where to run?
I see you kissing oblivious
Love ain't only your pain

I'm walking in oblivion
Walking in oblivion
I walk with a child's face
Remembering our days
Walking in oblivion
Walking in oblivion
It's gotta give, it's gotta change
Today is the day

To all the men whom I've loved
To all the men whom I've loved
Something to free your angry hearts
I'm opening up my arms
To all the men whom I've loved
To all the men whom I've loved
Speak of the fear inside
It's time to change, there still is time

Do you remember walking
Do you remember watching
Our faces in the
Falling hearts of children?
To all the men whom I've loved
To all the men whom I've loved
I dedicate my song saying
"Today is the day, today is the day"

So we fall and we fall again
And I have come to tell you today
That I loved you, there's still time to save
The falling hearts of our children

Through hating and loving
Through lucking and nothing
Through a manner of sorrows
That I have spoken
I open up my tender heart
I open up my tender heart
To all the men whom I've loved
All of those who I adored

But I remember something
I remember walking
When my heart was frozen
With that feeling
It's gotta give, it's gotta change
It's gotta give, it's gotta change
Turning round and round saying
Today is the day, today is the day

So we fall and we fall again
And I have come to tell you today
That I loved you, there's still time to save
The falling hearts of our children

Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
