Lyrics

I didn't mean to hit the ground... but it's the fall that saved me..
It started when I had to see her... and then I had to hear her voice..
It got worse when she taught me to breathe... then she convinced me that I wasn't leaving..
And she pulled me back in... oh, i'd let her do it all again..
As if I had a choice..

I went back on who I am... to be here alone..
Back on who I am... now she is my home..

I hadn't had much experience... with this happiness thing..
But she forced me upon this mood... like a lonely soul who takes to drinking..
Then she struck my weaknesses... with a devilish glare..
Her oh so perpetual pout... and the smile I love and find so rare..

Am I happy? I can't tell... but the smile suggests I am..
Or maybe i'm a player in a tragedy I wrote..
But the audience is laughing... so i'll keep hamming it up..
And smiling politely... smiling politely... smiling..
