Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Feels like the weight of the world

Like God in heaven gave me a turn

Don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you

Still in the dark, can you fix me?

[Verse 2]

Freefall

Freefall

All through life

[Verse 3]

If you love me then let go of me

I won't be held down by who I used to be

She's nothing to me

[Verse 4]

Feels like the weight of the world

Like all my screaming has gone unheard

And oh, I know you don't believe in me

Safe in the dark, how can you see?

[Verse 5]

Freefall

Freefall

All through life

[Verse 6]

If you love me then let go of me

I won't be held down by who I used to be

[Verse 7]

If you love me then let go of me

I won't be held down by who I was

[Verse 8]

If you love me then let go of me

I won't be held down by who I used to be
