| 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, «Come visit soon.» |
| And yesterday she wouldn’t notice that I was in the room. |
| I guess she stayed awake '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 had planned it from the start |
| 'Cause that’s the way so people do. |
| Oh, 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 you 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 something even you don’t know. |
| 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 on my mind |
| Then see you try to fake the feelings, trying not to be unkind. |
| And I don’t feel ashamed or feel guilty for the pain |
| Sometimes you build your hopes up and you 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. |
| Falling down’s as common as the rain. |
