lyrics

Not The Fall
She says she always feels better
When the flowers bloom in the early April sun
And she says that she can’t remember
Ever having felt so strong an urge to run
And there is nothing I can say or do
That will convince her
That maybe just this once the light will stay

And it’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you, my dear
It’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you it’s the fear

I said I think that it’s better
That you and I sprang forth from the same ground
And I knew I could never forget her
‘Cause souls like hers don’t often come around
And I swear on the lives of those whom I most cherish
That this good woman will be loved

‘Cause it’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you, my dear
Oh it’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you it’s the fear

And if I had a hammer I would build her
A fortress for that fragile, tender heart
And if I had a scalpel I would cut out
All the pain

She says she seems to remember
The reasons seemed like good ones at the time
Oh I said what does it matter?
We can rake over the past but we can’t conceal our crimes
And she knows that I will always work for her love
But I don’t know if that’ll always be enough

‘Cause it’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you, my dear
Oh it’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you it’s the fear

And it’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you
Let ‘em drop
Oh it’s not the fall that hurts you
It’s not the fall that hurts you…
It’s the sudden stop

She says she always feels better
When the flowers bloom in the early April sun
