For once I wasn't the one to cling to someone as they left
I'm the one being clung to.
I trust too little and never forgive
You forgive too easily and trust too much.
"Please don't go."
"I don't know what I'll do without you."
Your whitened hand grips mine so tightly I'm afraid it'll break.
That I'll break, and you'll break, and everything will break.
I've been thinking about it for a long time
It kept me awake all these nights
I tossed and turned
And my bed felt like cold stone
Felt like my heart.
Every time,
I try to leave
But I always change my mind
Because I am a helium balloon
And without your hand
I'll float up into the endless skies
Lost to time.
I'm addicted to you
And you're addicted to me
Now I'm drowning in your sea.
Is this what you call love?
I really hope not
Because if it is
Maybe it'll be better for you to let go
Better for us.
Yeah, just let me drift into the clouds
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
This time I won't come crawling back
Free at last
Lost at last
Better for us
You finally let go.
