Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I tried my best to not let you go
I don't like the view from halfway down
Just promise me that it won't be slow
Will I feel the impact of the ground?
I tried to be something that I'll never be
Why waste another precious hour? Why waste another precious ounce?
I'd rather leave somewhat of a legacy
Familiar, a thought that's so familiar
[Chorus]
Let me close my eyes with dignity
Let's end it all, the world's not far behind
So what's the point of staying? It's going up in flames, I know
Yes, I know, ooh
Oh-oh-oh
[Refrain]
Hey-hey
Oh-oh
Hey
[Verse 2]
Just hold my heartbeat close to you
Remember how it always beats for you
I'm falling at the speed of light
I'm staring at your shrinking face, don't cry
You know my heart belongs to you
One last time, say that you want me too
The only words that gave me life
Now I'll see you on the other side
[Bridge]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Outro]
Oh, mama, I'll pray
I'm running away
Oh-oh
Hey-hey (Oh, no)
Oh-oh
Hey-hey
Is a threat not a promise? (Mmm)
If you're looking for rage (Mmm, oh)
If you're looking for ragin'
Quiet for days
Baby, running away
Aye-yeah
Is a threat not a promise?
Is a threat not a promise?
Yeah-yeah
Ah-ha (Oh)
Ah-ha (Oh)
Ah-ha
Ah-ha
Mama, I'll pray
Mama, I'll pray
