    Struggling over losing a friend, these lyrics leapt from the grief one day.  I still love the girl.

    Fallen

    I wish I knew what I could say
    To make you see it’s not that way
    That everything I’ve ever said before
    Was just a way of trying to be
    Someone you would want to see
    Someone who just wanted to know you more

    But somewhere here along the way
    It all got spun into a fray
    And now you won’t let me in anymore
    And I can’t see just what I’ve done
    That made me be the one you shun
    That made you turn and show me to the door

    And now I’ve fallen
    There’s no more use in calling
    When everything I say tumbles to the floor
    How did I offend you?
    I can’t pretend to
    Believe we will go on like we’d always gone before

    Hours pass and turn to days
    The silence roars into a haze
    I fight inside for ways to fix the score
    I call your name and pray for light
    Wondering how to make things right
    When “you and I” have been shaken to the core

    Can’t you tell me what I’ve done?
    How is it I became the one
    You realized you couldn’t trust here anymore?
    I believed we were the best of friends
    And then suddenly the talking ends
    And you don’t want to see me any more

    Left here, I’ve fallen
    I’m broken and I’m crawling
    Trying to pick the pieces up off the floor
    How can I win you?
    I can’t pretend to
    Hide from the words I said before you shut the door

    That I’d fallen
    And with you, my heart was all in
    And in you, I could want for nothing more
    That you were completely
    Brilliance and beauty
    And everything in a woman I’d hoped for
    That you were completely
    Everything to me
    The one that I wanted to live all of my life for

    But now, I’ve fallen
    I’m broken and I’m crawling
    Trying to pick the pieces up off the floor
    How did I offend you?
    I can’t pretend to
    Believe we will go on like we’d always done before

    About

    A web programmer by day, I somehow still spend a lot of time thinking about relationships, God, and the significance of grace and love in daily events. I am old school in the sense that I believe in the reality of sin, and in the need of each human heart for deliverance to the Divine. I am one of those who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that you can find most answers to life's pressing issues in Him and His Word, the Bible. I ain't perfect, and a lot of the time I ain't good, but by God's grace and kindness, I am forgiven and free.
