Willing To Fall

I love you so much that I feel like I've already lost you,
And nothing you tell me can make me believe that you'll stay.
I try to be trusting cause lord knows, I know what it costs you
To be true to your lovers but never believe what they say.

What are we earning? and what will it cost?
We spend our time mourning for something we haven't yet lost.
I made you a promise to love you, but that wasn't all.
I'm ready to hold on, and willing to fall.

Last night I awoke to the sound of my own shallow breathing,
Said, “baby come closer, there's something I want you to know.
When you say you love me, don't you mean that you're never leaving?
'cause when I say I love you, I mean I don't want you to go.”

So what are we earning? and what will it cost
If we spend our time mourning for something we haven't yet lost?
I made you a promise to love you, but that wasn't all.
I'm ready to hold on, and willing to fall.
