about

Written a long time ago for another artist (who rejected it and several other songs) I've kept this around and played it in my live set loads, but never put it on an album properly. It's a lamenting love song about being pissed off at yourself for wasting so much time on someone who perhaps didn't deserve it. Do we get older and wiser? Can we stop ourselves from starting to fall?

lyrics

Fall
He sees me leaving, he'll never ask me to stay
Love an emotion, that only gets in the way
Of life, or work...he's the rational kind.
Love is the last thing, that would enter his mind.

If he were asked he might call me naive
Head in the clouds and my heart on my sleeve
If he were asked he'd express his dismay
Reality never was my forte

Chorus:
And I'm older now, God knows I'm no wiser
I can read the signs, a little better that's all
And I've made mistakes, but I know what really matters
I can stop myself, if I'm starting to fall.

Sometimes my heart feels, so battered and bruised
From all the years that I wasted on you
Sometimes my heart feels so cruel to be kind
And like a clock I just slowly unwind
