I've always liked you. For years, it was me fawning over you. I know it sounds odd, I mean, I always turned away when you'd look at me with those longing eyes. People never seem to like each other at the same time. And if they do, neither knows it. Why was I so stupid? But, you always seemed to fly, even though I never returned your longing gaze when I should have.

Baby's black balloon makes her fly

I almost fell into that hole in your life

And you're not thinking bout tomorrow

Cause you were the same as me

But on your knees

You always made it clear you liked me. You never said anything, but you might as well have shouted it. You completely ignored any other people that would seem to like you. For years, you chased me. How did that happen? Did I really deserve that?

A thousand other boys could never reach you

How could I have been the one

I saw the world spin beneath you

And scatter like ice from the spoon

That was your womb

But, I screwed up. I never said anything, I ignored your feelings. Your eyes seemed to dim every time I didn't notice you. Or, you thought I didn't notice you, but I did. I guess I was a scared little boy. I'm still a scared little boy. Seeing you lack that luster was like seeing an angel lose it's wings. The more I saw you, the colder you seemed. I guess that was expected.

Coming down the world turned over

And angels fall without you there

And I go on as you get colder

Or are you someone's prayer

I don't think people ever told you the truth. That other men looked at you, I mean. Nobody told you, because they didn't want you to know. I remember the guy that chased after you for the better part of a year wondering 'Who is that girl?' You never tried to be someone else. And you never noticed how precious that was.

You know the lies they always told you

And the love you never knew

What's the things they never showed you

That swallow the light from the sun

Inside your room

Watching you walking away turned me into a dead fish. One that had flipped over onto it's side a long time ago. The light was definitely gone. The room was cold. Others prayers were starting to be answered.

Coming down the world turned over

And angels fall without you there

And I go on as you get colder

Always someone. . .

I shouldn't have let you go. I should have ran after you. But even though I didn't, every guy that might have asked you out, you turned down before they even had the chance to ask. Until that one, that is. But, then he left, and that hurt you the most.

And there's no time left for losing

When you stand they fall

Coming down the world turned over

And angels fall without you there

And I go on as you get colder

All because I'm. . .

I remember when you came to me for advise. I was a little jumpy, but I didn't let on. Even if I had, you wouldn't have noticed. Our time had passed. You had moved on. I could only stay where I was, and hope that - maybe - our time could come again.

Coming down the years turned over

And angels fall without you there

And I'll go on now and lead you home and

All because I'm

All because I'm

And I'll become

What you became to me
