Looking up from underneath,
as low as we are,
Nothing looks the same to me,
am I deceived?
I stand and watch myself from somewhere else,
Something I don’t want to receive.

Take it all,
so I’m left with nothing at all.
Have it all,
cuz I’m learning how to fall,
yes I’m learning how to fall.

Standing up from underneath,
as low as we are,
Things aren’t what they used to be,
was I deceived?
I stand and watch myself like someone else,
Something I don’t want to receive.

Take it all,
so I’m left with nothing at all.
Have it all,
cuz I’m learning how to fall,
yes I’m learning how to fall.

Why don’t you fall? Fall.
Take it all,
so I’m left with nothing at all.
Have it all,
cuz I’m looking out to fall,

I can’t trust what I see;
I can’t tell if its me,
it is changing.
Take it all,
cuz I’m learning how to fall,
yes I’m learning how to fall.

    Change is a good thing, especially when we grow, but its kind of hard to want to change when you're going to outgrow some of the loves and memories of your life, isn't it?

    It looks like this person's values and perceptions are changing and he is growing. That when he was just deeply hurt, the pain is allowing him to look at things differently. He knows he has to change but he does not want to.

    It seems like after every break-up in my relationships, I fall hard. I usually stop caring about myself and the things around me for a time period and then as I crawl out of that hole I get much stronger. So perhaps there is a right way to fall, one that involves a little less pain.
