Hear Me Fall

I’ve been a thorn in my own side for too long
became a part of me so 
I just can’t shake it off
thinking of all the chances that I didn’t take
and I’m the one to blame

cause I don’t have a spine to stand tall
security’s a drug, inject it into my heart
I could do without an alibi
hoping I can believe 
I didn’t make a sound

​

but if no one hears me fall in the forest
it’s as if I didn’t live at all
Was it worth it to be perfect?
Was it worth it? I don’t know
but nobody heard me fall in the forest
so I wasn’t real at all

​

To leave a trace
the day I’ll figure it out
it might be too late
who would’ve thought that my sacrifice
was to hide
cause I thought it’d save my pride

now I don’t really know how to stand tall
security’s a drug, inject it into my heart
the expectations are an avalanche
but if no one’s around 
they can’t bury me

​

so if no one hears me…
no one hears me fall in the forest
it’s as if I didn’t live at all
Was it worth it to be perfect?
Was it worth it? I don’t know
but nobody heard me fall in the forest
so it wasn’t real at all

​

Convinced myself that I’d be safe
As long as I stayed in my haven
But it erased me from the world

​

Just take a leap and risk a fall 
Ain’t that the meaning of it all?
Replay the thundering sound
of my roots ripped out of the ground

​

but if no one hears me fall in the forest
it’s as if I didn’t live at all
Was it worth it to be perfect?
Was it worth it? I don’t know
but nobody heard me fall in the forest
so it wasn’t real at all

​

Was it worth it to be perfect?
Was it worth it? I don’t know
but nobody heard me fall in the forest
so it wasn’t real at all
