From the very start
We shared the same heart,
A portrait made from love,
We were a work of art,
Depicted through our eyes,
I still get butterflies,
A memory flutters by,
I reminisce what we were like,
(Like the moon to the wave), you pull me close,
(Like the earth to the moon), our love revolves,
(Like the sun to the earth), you give me life,
But like star-crossed lovers we fall from the sky,
How could we not realise,
We were heading to separate lives,
You smile but your eyes don’t lie,
If you are not honest then how can we try,
Tell me how you’re gonna take me to the stars and then you’re gonna bring me right back,
If you’re not for real then why’d you treat me like that?
We used to kiss the sky but now we’re falling,
Tell me why we’re falling?
Why do we keep falling?
Tell me how you’re gonna take me this close then you pull me right back,
How can we be strangers when you know me like that?
We used to kiss the sky but now we’re falling,
Falling from love,
All the dreams of yesterday,
Are now broken promises,
Don’t want our love to fade away,
Replaced by apologies, (but)
It’s my heart that’s in suspense,
So dark from love’s pretence,
So hard to lose a friend,
If it is the end then it don’t make sense,
Can there ever be a penniless millionaire?
Can there ever be heart with no love to share?
Can a melody be without a tune?
This is me without you,
I just don’t understand,
How you can just change our plans,
I reach out to take your hand,
Could this be the end?
Tell me how you’re gonna take me to the stars and then you’re gonna bring me right back,
If you’re not for real then why’d you treat me like that?
We used to kiss the sky but now we’re falling,
Tell me why we’re falling?
Why do we keep falling?
Tell me how you’re gonna take me this close then you pull me right back,
How can we be strangers when you know me like that?
We used to kiss the sky but now we’re falling,
Falling from love,
But now we’re falling from love,
We’re falling from love,
But now we’re falling from love
We’re falling from love,
Tell me how you’re gonna take me to the stars and then you’re gonna bring me right back,
If you’re not for real then why’d you treat me like that?
We used to kiss the sky but now we’re falling,
Tell me why we’re falling?
Why do we keep falling?
Tell me how you’re gonna take me this close then you pull me right back,
How can we be strangers when you know me like that?
We used to kiss the sky but now we’re falling,
Falling from love.
