Story Behind The Song
I wrote the music & skeleton words to the chorus first. Later on I wrote the song to capture unrequited love from the point of the singer.
Song Description
Someone chasing after a love that is pulling away due to issues they have about falling in love. The person singing is asking the person they care about to not let fear take hold...and to let their relationship move forward.

Lyrics
Fly or Fall
Strong as I can be still I wish I?d see how you see me
?Cause in your eyes I thought that I would be set free.
Last night I lied when I said I hadn?t cried, you never asked why.
The silence hid your last excuse for never breaking through.
Chorus:
?Cause I don?t wanna be the one that you see that can?t find your love.
I don?t wanna be the one that you flee from
And if you let it be then maybe you would see if we fly at all..
Fly or fall, I only wanna be the only one you see... Yeah...
Time for me to land on my own two feet and stand again
But in this I believe:
You wanted me here physically.
Trying but no use, tired of abuse
My spirit does bleed..
Until my soul is freed my spirit bleeds.
Chorus
Fly or fall...if we fly at all.
Fly or fall...if you let it be.
Chorus
