I see the pictures that you've painted in your mind

Even before you got them down

I see the ones I've painted of you inside

I think I've got them memorized

(Chorus:)

Now it's realized that the pain I feel inside

Is more than I should be taking

I see your dreams revealed in a wide, open field

And I choke down my heart that is breaking

Why can't I just fall in love like others fall

And not feel every minute?

Why does it hurt so bad to be falling in

And out of love with you?

Don't know if my heart has a glass case around it

I know if you touch it she will bleed

Up until now I thought the only way I could tame it

Was letting it grow just like a weed

(Chorus:)

Now it's realized that the pain I feel inside

Is more than I should be taking

I see your dreams revealed in a wide, open field

And I choke down my heart that is breaking

Why can't I just fall in love like others fall

And not feel every minute?

Why does it hurt so bad to be falling in

And out of love with you?
