Lyrics
You can?t see my mind, it?s out of breath and it?s out of time.
You cannot see how my heart can beat right out of me.
I drift away every time you say, ?well I won?t die and I won?t fade?.
But sometimes I can?t tell my ups from downs. And everyone I know has been painted with blight and a frown.
I?m so terrified of being alone tonight. But if you think I?m drowning, don?t try to save me. Let go of me. Let go of me. Let go of me.
Please, please don?t leave, though I tell you to go incessantly.
Make it go away cause I can?t stand to live this way.
I drift away every time I say, ?well I won?t die and I won?t fade?.
But I couldn?t stand to not live like I wanted to. He said, ?I may be lying in the gutter, but I?m staring at the stars?.
I?m so terrified of being alone tonight. But if you think I?m drowning, don?t try to save me. Let go of me. Let go of me. Let go of me.
In a world of so much pain, it?s so hard to break this mold. And everyone and everything are just like gravity.
I?m so terrified of being alone with me. Cause everything I hope for rips me from sleep. So let go of me, yeah. Alright, yeah let go of me.
And you keep holding, on and holding, on and holding on again.
And you keep holding on, and holding on, and holding on again.
Let go of me.
