Slowly they’re falling
Just as I am
Tears upon the ground
Just as I am

What is the emotion that explains these words?
What is the word which describes such notion?
Surely not love, surely not lust.
Oh, how to tell you
But tell you I must.

I’ll start at the beginning
Where it all began
There I found an angel
And took her by the hand

She was a beautiful creature
A true diamond in the rough
She became my teacher
She taught me how to love

What an empty promise
Such a hollow lie
For all my devotion
She didn’t even try

Now I am lost
My heart without feeling
Truly ashamed, truly enough
For is this the story I should live by?
For is this the life given to me?

Just as it is
So I have lost
Just as it is
I’ve fallen in love
