The night before she's leaving there's suddenly a change
She slowly sits beside me and she softly calls my name.
And gives me an address, and she says to visit soon
And yesterday she wouldn't notice that I was in the room.
I guess she stayed away 'cause it's so hard for her to say
We both had built our hopes up, but the love just slipped away.
She's worried I might try to burden her with all the blame
For breaking up my heart as if she'd planned it from the start
Just 'cause that's the way some people do.
Ah, but I have been on her side of it, too,
So I said, don't feel ashamed, don't feel guilty for the pain.
Sometimes you build your hopes up and they fall back down again.
The time we had was magic, and the love was not in vain.
Falling down's as common as the rain.
Something about me leaves you cold, it's something even you don't know.
Now don't think that it's wrong to go `cause of what we had before.
Just leave me with those magic times; I'd rather keep you in my mind
Than see you try to fake the feelings, trying not to be unkind.
Oh now don't feel ashamed, don't feel guilty for the pain
Sometimes you build your hopes up and they fall back down again.
The time we had was magic, and the love was not in vain.
Falling down's as common as the rain.
The only thing for certain is that nothing stays the same.
And falling down's as common as the rain.
