Standing face to face
but a million miles apart
and on any other day
that love would hold me to your heart

How did we get so lost?
how did love slip away?
when this line we have crossed
is taking me a different way?

When I see you now
I pray the stars will change
to take away the doubt
and ease the pain
of losing what we've made
this is falling out of love

All the closets that we hide
keep us safe from the unknown
but what our trust would open wide
can never be clothed

And I'll find you in the afternoon
when all that's said is gone

When I see you now
I pray the stars will change
to take away the doubt
and ease the pain
of losing what we've made
this is falling out of love

And I'm falling
And I'm falling

When I see you now
I pray the stars will change
to take away the doubt
and ease the pain
of losing what we've made
this is falling out of love

Written by Mary Gauthier

It's a cheap hotel, the heat pipes hiss
The bathroom's down the hall, and it smells like piss
It's another night in another town
And I'm another blues traveler headed down

Falling out of love is a dangerous thing
With its slippery slopes and its weighted wings
With its birds of prey circling overhead
Casting vulture shadows on barren beds
Let me out, set me free
Let me out, set me free

The clock inside the church bell tower
Rings your name every hour
I see your face, I touch your hair
Then the ringing fades and nobody's there

Falling out of love is a treacherous thing
With its crucible kiss and its ravaged ring
With its holy whispers and labyrinth lies
Sacrilegious hungry sighs
Let me out, set me free
Let me out, set me free

I walk the streets, and I taste the dirt
I am flesh and blood, and my body hurts
I search your silence looking for a crack
For a passageway where I can pull you back

Falling out of love is a tedious thing
With its jailhouse smirk and its chain gang swing
Its time to serve and its sentence set
With its warm blood and cold sweat
Let me out, set me free

I watch the sun
See it rise and fall
Waiting for something to change
I get through the day
Hope to turn things around
Seems like I'm falling out of love

I'm falling out of love

Feeling alone
With you by my side
Further and further away
Funny how long
A moment can seem
When you're trying to hold on
Feels like

I'm falling out of love

Please just forget me
Never let me into your heart
Cos the one thing i am afraid of
Is falling out of love

Please i'll forget you
Never let you into my heart
I left you standing
Standing in the dark
It's all falling apart

Stay away
I'm not myself
No one can help me now

I've lived for the devil
With a head full of devilish things
It only was because
Cos i was so afraid
Of falling out of love

Stay away
I'm not myself
No one can help me now

I've lost my way
Don't follow me
I've lost my way
Ohhhhh.
