From the very first moment
That you stepped into my view
I knew that there was something
So incredible about you

I had to get to know you--
Couldn't let the chance slip by
The emotions I was feeling
Made me think that I could fly

And I was falling fast
Caught up in this dream
A smile upon my face
In my eyes a gleam

I thought I had a chance
It seemed we shared so much--
Beliefs about life
And love and such

But you fell for another
Leaving me as "just a friend"
My fantasies were shattered
My heart may never mend

And now I'm falling fast
Waking from my dream
Realizing things
Are never what they seem

Still sometimes for a moment
I forget and slip away
Unattainable dreams
Become the price I have to pay

And I'm falling fast
Into this dark abyss
Yes I'm falling fast
Dying for your kiss
Falling fast
Falling fast...
