You caught my eye like a midnight flame

No words exchanged, but I knew your name

It wasn't you I fell into

But the dream of someone new

Falling for falling, not for your face

Tripping on feelings I can’t replace

Not in love, but loving the idea

Of someone close, someone near

You smiled once and the world stood still

But my heart was chasing just the thrill

Every touch, a mirrored lie

I loved the echo, not the cry

Falling for falling, like it's a game

Burning in silence, calling your name

Not in love, just lost in the glow

Of wanting someone I’ll never know

Maybe I’m built to chase a ghost

Always needing what I lose the most

I dance alone in candlelight

Drunk on the dream, fading with the night

Falling for falling, again and again

Running through shadows, chasing the pain

Not in love, but tied to the start

Of loving the feeling, not the heart

So if you ask me what I miss

It’s not your eyes or your kiss

It’s the falling, not the fall

That held me once and took it all
