Lyrics for Much Like Falling as interpreted by DeadVenusBlue

Much Like Falling Lyrics
When I said good morning
I was lying
I was truly thinking of
How I might quit waking up

He pointed out how selfish
It would be kill myself
So I keep waking up

It feels so much like falling
Dying while I wait to die
The fear of something or nothing
Lonely empty lie

I don't want to be a liar
I don't want to be selfish anymore
I want so much to change
Learning your love everyday
There's still so much to know

You grip my wrists
I let go

It feels so much like falling
Seperated from the fear
Aware of a destination far away from here

It feels so much like falling
Seperated from the fear
Aware of a destination far away from here
Far away from here

I've only started listening to this song a few days ago, but I think it's an awesome song.
The first 2 paragraph or whatever they are are my favourite part of the song.

I can relate to this song.

"He pointed out how selfish
It would be kill myself
So I keep waking up"

....Your words you said to me that night "Don't do it Jen, it's not worth it" are always on my mind when I feel the urge.....your voice and memory gets me through it....

she wants to commit suicide but she knows that God says it is selfish because you are letting others suffer while you get off easy..at the end she decides not to kill herself because she knows someday there will be happiness in heaven and if she kills herself, she will never get there.

ok, well i can rEALLY relate to this song.... back when i was in 7th grade, i would cry while trying to sleep, then, when i ran out of tears, i would think about ways to kill myself... and in the morning i didnt tell anyone about how i felt so i was lying when i acted all happy around my family and friends ... but they always showed me that they cared so it would be selfish to kill myself.

I agree with paroxysm

when she refers to "he" I don't think shes talking about god because the first part goes "When I said good morning" so she obviously was talking to a boyfriend, husband or just someone close to her

This song reminds me of when I was 13-19... I'm almost 20 now...

I literally wanted to die and would hope every single night that I wouldn't wake up. Everything felt like it was going wrong. My grandfather and aunt died, my boyfriend moved away and then broke up with me, my friends ditched me at school, I was cutting worse than ever, had an eating disorder was being both physically and emotionally abused by my father and had even attempted suicide.

But then suddenly in october of 2007, my boyfriend (then and now) had asked me back out and ever since then has helped me through everything... I moved away in July 2008 to be with him and away from everything.

I loveeeee this song. its one of my favorites. it means a lot to me, because im christian so I believe in God and stuff and i used to think about suicide sometimes. You know God's there with you, but sometimes it feels like you're, well, falling. And He's no where to be found, so you just want to leave behind all the hurt and pain, but sometimes you gotta think about what your doing to other people and what He wants you to do. sooo yeahhhh

this song is amazing. i can definitely relate to this pain. feeling so empty and lost. "It feels so much like falling. Dying while I wait to die. The fear of something or nothing. Lonely empty lie" Its hard having to pretend that everything is okay, putting on that mask, daily. Having someone to keep you alive changes everything, but doesn't always make things easier.

i know what she means by this song. i have a lot of nightmares that acctually happen in real life and its so hard to wake up. i woke up and cried a few times because it hurt so much to be awake. i didnt wanna go on with life. the only thing that keep me waking up was that god has a purpose for me and ill never find it if i dont get up. sleeping would just be another nightmare, waking up would be living the nightmare, but in the end i would be living it with god and that makes it all worth it.

This song reminds me of when I was a child...
I have been emotionally, and even sometimes physically, abused by my father my whole life. I had no friends, I had an impossible teacher, and I had PTSD. I was ten years old when I started cutting myself, and I cut myself all through my tenth year, really deep cuts. When I was eleven, I tried to kill myself, by literally "falling." I could see myself hitting the ground as I fell off of this high, high place. I was seriously ready to fall off, when my friend Brennan came up behind me, gripped my wrist really hard, and said, "I WON"T LET YOU DO THIS!" I had to "let go..."
But now I'm a christian, and this is behind me
However, this is exactly what Lacey was talking about, and I can totally relate to this song.

This song changed my life. I first heard it about three years ago and it really did saved me. Every word hits me. But when I hear "You grip my wrists, I let go" something inside me just goes crazy. Thank you Flyleaf.
