The Fall
Unraveling Hearts: The Emotional Odyssey in 'The Fall' by Taylor Dayne
Lyrics
I'm falling behind once again
I feel like I'm falling behind once again
I'm calling to you
I'm reaching out to you
Do you hear me, unraveling
Do you hear me, as I unravel emotionally?
My heart from your care
I'm separating my heart from your care
I'm longing for you
I yearn for your presence
But I can't go there
Despite my desire, I can't go to where you are
These were our dreams
Reflecting on the dreams we shared
These were our problems
Contemplating the problems we faced together
Keep alive that must die
Preserving what needs to be kept alive, even if it must die
Where is the tear
Searching for a sign of emotional distress
Where is the man
Wondering about the whereabouts of a significant man
You have forsaken
Feeling abandoned by you
You're breaking my heart
You're causing intense emotional pain
You gave me love
You once gave me love
Is love enough
Questioning if love alone is sufficient
Don't bring me down
Pleading not to bring me down emotionally
I'm watching, I'm waiting again
Observing and waiting once more
I'm holding my soul
Guarding my soul as it slips away from your grasp
As it slips through your hands
Every breath I take is an opportunity
I'm breathing, each breath is my chance
Creating new possibilities
Expanding the new
Live my life again
Recalling the dreams we had
These were our dreams
Remembering the problems we faced
These were our problems
Rejecting what needs to be discarded, even if it must die
Cast aside that must die
Blaming myself for everything
All of the blame
Shamefully hiding from the blame
Hides in the shame
Feeling forsaken by you
You have forsaken
You're causing profound emotional pain
You're breaking my heart
You once gave me love
You gave my love
But it wasn't sufficient
It wasn't enough
Pleading not to bring me down emotionally
Don't bring me down
Ooh
Expressing emotions, possibly pain or frustration
Meeting and falling
Experiencing the phases of meeting, falling, going, and loving
And going and loving
Whoo, whooo
-I can't go back
Expressing the inability to return to a previous state
These were our dreams
Recalling the dreams we once had
These were our problems
Remembering the problems we faced
Cast aside that must die
Rejecting what needs to be discarded, even if it must die
Where is the tear
Searching for a sign of emotional distress
Where is the man
Wondering about the whereabouts of a significant man
You have forsaken
Feeling abandoned by you
You're breaking my heart
You're causing intense emotional pain
You gave me love
You once gave me love
Is love enough
Questioning if love alone is sufficient
Don't bring me down, don't
Pleading not to bring me down emotionally
