To Fall Is Not to Fail

If you have to say goodbye
 Be careful not to lose control
 It's better not to cry
 Or to look me in the eye
 When you leave and you let it go
 And if you need to know the way
 Be careful not to play around
 Don't ask me or I'll say
 That I'm going my own way
 I'm going up instead of underground
 I looked around
 To find a key
 I said I knew that it wouldn't be easy
 To make you see
 I fell asleep
 And I awoke
 And like a joke
 You were next to me sleeping
 But then it broke
 Words aren't easy
 But neither am I
 I don't want to be the one that learns to fly
 If you have to say goodbye
 Be careful not to lose control
 It's better not to cry
 Or to look me in the eye
 When you leave and you let it go
 And if you need to know the way
 Be careful not to play around
 Don't ask me or I'll say
 That I'm going my own way
 I'm going up instead of underground
 I hit the ground
 And it shook the sky
 All I knew is that I didn't know why
 I even tried
 I should have died
 Then I heard the news
 I thought I was the one that would lose
 But here's where I begin
 Words aren't easy
 But neither am I
 I don't want to be the one that's left to die
 If you have to say goodbye
 Be careful not to lose control
 It's better not to cry
 Or to look me in the eye
 When you leave and you let it go
 And if you need to know the way
 Be careful not to play around
 Don't ask me or I'll say
 That I'm going my own way
 I'm going up instead of underground
