Only one heart to break

I fear the day I fall. I want it to happen, but I'm afraid if I do, I won't survive the landing.

There's just one heart to break. I can't hand it out in fliers.

I've loved and lost, but never ever did I fall.

I fear the day I love someone as much as I can give
and exceeding far
beyond my own comprehension.

When the day comes for my one love, please catch me before I fall for too long. The landing won't be soft, so please make it stop.

I'll hand him my heart in a little box marked fragile. There'll be packing peanuts and wrapping paper with a card signed XOXO, Return to me if you break it. There's only one of me, so take good care of me.

I'll probably break both my feet. I'll bleed till I'm blank.

I'll smile so long I'll lose my mind.
I'll be so happy I'll float to the sky.

When I drop back down, there'll be nothing left of me. I'll be burnt up in the atmosphere just for him to tell me it's not me. It's just not working out. He hands me back the shards of broken glass that was once a heart to love.
