My heart knows the reason I've been taken
As a fool, and so I'll fall,
The words were spoken; here I'm broken
And there's no sense inside this call.
But I'm speaking, still I'm dreaming
Of what you say you've left behind.
I didn't choose to stand and lose you
To the heartless bottom line.

What erased the soft embrace
And filled this life with pain?
You say, "It's right to fall, not fight,
And what is there left to gain?"
So I'm just hoping, and I'm choking,
On the memories and time.
So if I'm speechless, know I'm faithless
And that's the bottom line.

I can't control what I don't know,
But there's a distance in your voice
It's hard to for me to hear you're free,
After such a painful choice.
But if you're leaving, I'll stop dreaming
And accept that you're not mine.
Instead I'll fold and let you go
To fall beyond this bottom line.
