Falling - song

song lyrics

When you're near me,
  It makes me smile.

When you need me,

  It makes my life worthwhile.

    I think that I am falling.

Your smile's so warm,

  It melts my heart.

You touch my soul;

  It's tearing me apart

    I think that I am falling.

      Falling.

Tell me why

Do I find

It's so hard to say "I love you"?

I'm so afraid I'll lose you

  If I tell you how I feel.

So I try

  Not to cry

Not to show the pain inside me.

'Cause I know the love denied me

Means me heart will always be

  Forever falling

Falling

      Falling

I'll be forever falling.

I talk to you;

You do not stay.

I reach for you;

  You push my hand away.

I think that I am falling.

You were my world

  That world has died.

My heart was full;

  Now there's no love inside.

    I think that I am falling.

Tell me why

  Did I find

It so hard to say "I love you"?

I was so afraid I'll lose you

  If I told you how I feel.

Now I try

  Not to cry

Not to show the pain inside me.

'Cause I know the love denied me

Means me heart will always be

  Forever falling

    Falling

      Falling

I'll be forever ...

Falling in love.

  Falling apart.

Falling for you

  Is breaking my heart.

Falling so hard.

  Falling so fast.

I've fallen so far,

  How long can I last?

I feel the breeze;

  Upon my face

I see the earth

  I long for its embrace.

I think that I am falling.

Tell me why

  Did I find

It so hard to say "I love you"?

I was so afraid I'll lose you

  If I told you how I feel.

Now I try

  Not to cry

Not to show the pain inside me.

'Cause I know the love denied me

Means me heart will always be

  Forever falling

    Falling

      Falling

I'll be forever falling

[Matt Sayer]

A tentative tale of unrequited love, and the headfirst plunge that never ends as the winds of returned affection never blow. You've structured this very well, and I imagine that sung/played it would be absolutely wonderful. Well done! :)

[Rogie-Dodge]

Thanks Matt !!
As I mentioned elsewhere here, when I wrote it I had delta goodrem performing it in my mind.
I can get the most amazing artists to perform just for me in my mind, and they are always so obliging.
Different songs I write have different performers. If only I could get them all in real life and make a compilation album !! I'd be rich. Rich, I tell you.

[Matt Sayer]

Ah, if only the rich and famous were so obliging to us lowly peasants... But who knows? Maybe one day you'll be the rockstar! :)

[Rogie-Dodge]

A bit late for that.
The Rolling Stones still manage.
They had a head start

damn ... I've been writing too much haiku :P

[radio raven]

Is the structure supposed to be like that? Anyway it was good, curios to know what it sounds like.

[Rogie-Dodge]

Was there something about the structure you didn't like or didn't seem right. Just curious.
Story-wise, goes from falling in love, falling apart, to falling in suicide.
Structure-wise its fairly standard rock verse,chorus,verse,chorus,bridge,verse,chorus

[radio raven]

Nah I mean how the sentences are not even, some are more pushed then others, or my iPad is drunk lol.

[radio raven]

Pushed out I mean, like this

I'll be forever ...

Falling in love.
Falling apart.
Falling for you
Is breaking my heart.
Falling so hard.
Falling so fast.
I've fallen so far,
How long can I last?

[radio raven]

That did not go the way I pasted,but that is even lol ,

Yeah iPad drunk

[Rogie-Dodge]

So how the words are on the page .. indented etc. That was on purpose to give the feel of the lyrics visually.

If it doesn't work, then I can just get rid of the tabs (or reduce them perhaps). I haven't seen it on an iPad, so maybe it looks really bad there.

[radio raven]

Nah it's okay, I have come to peace with it lol.

[Rogie-Dodge]

I fixed it anyway ... just in case there are any other drunk ipod's out there :D :D

[Kaylie]

This actually made me teary eyed for a moment. I think that you have a very interesting perspective, and a unique style of writing that I am loving. I can't wait to read more of your work. Beautifully done

[Rogie-Dodge]

Thanks you so much.
If you're familiar with her, the song is in the style of Delta Goodrem. A bit hard to play it for you though :P

[Kaylie]

Send me a video or Skype me :)

[Rogie-Dodge]

I'll have to get my keyboards out and record it
Its rather like "No not me not I" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyOQzFTILnc )
Especially the chorus. So that will give you some idea :D :D
