1st verse
I’m so tired of being separated by these walls/ that I have built and let become so overgrown/
And I’m so sick of wasting time/ measuring my worth/ against the standards that I’ll never meet alone/
And I’m so through with offering/ my life but puling back so you/ won’t see how cold I’ve let my heart become/
And I just can’t keep counting on/ myself or temporary highs/ to pull me out/ when you’re the only one/
Chorus
I’m ready to break down/ and stop trying to do this on my own/
(Falling has never been so sweet/ as when I let go and admit my defeat/)
2nd verse
I’m finally at the place where I/ can’t wait another moment/ I’ve fallen down so low all I can do is lift my eyes/
I’ve said these words before/ this is/ becoming so familiar/ but only when I’m broken do I fully realize/
That I don’t have the strength enough/ to pull my world together/ I cannot stand/ I’ll fall each time I step outside of you/
And I just can’t keep listening to/ the echoes of my failures/ so pull me out/ I need a piece of you/
Bridge
I’m coming to find/ I can’t handle it all/ and the higher I climb/ the farther I fall/
I’m ‘bout to/ step aside and take a backseat ride/ it’s time I/ finally tried/ letting you back inside/ I’m sick of/ all this pride it’s time it finally died/ so break me down and let me feel you kill my will to defy yeah/ pull me out cause I’m finally through/ calling the shots for myself/ I’m giving over to you/ I’m handing over the reins/ I’m giving you the control so/ Shine down your light and fill this void in my sole/
