      I tried to hide
but somethin’ broke,
      I tried to sing – couldn’t hit the notes,
the words kept       catchin’ in my throat…

      I tried to smile,
I was suffocating though but
      here with you, I can
fin’lly breathe. You say
      you’re no good, but you’re
good for me. I’ve been
      hopin’ to change, now I
know we can change
but I won’t
if you’re not by my side…

Why does it feel right
every time I let you in?
Why does it feel like
I can tell you anythin’?
All the secrets that keep me in chains and
all the damage that might make me dangerous.
You got a dark side,
guess you’re not the only one
What if we both tried
fightin’ what we’re runnin’ from?
We can’t fix it if we never face it,
what if we find a way to escape it?

We could be       free,       free…
We can’t fix it if we never face it,
let the past be the past ’til it’s weightless.

Ooh       time goes by,
and I lose perspective yeh.
      Hope only hurts,
so I just forget it but
you’re breakin’ through all the dark in me
when I thought that nobody could.
And you’re wakin’ up all these parts of me
that I thought were buried for good.

Between imposter and this monster,
I’ve been lost inside my head.
Ain’t no choice when all these voices
keep me pointin’ towards no end.
It’s just easy
when I’m with you,
no one sees me
the way you do
I don’t trust it, but I want to,
I keep coming back to.

Why does it feel right
every time I let you in?
Why does it feel like
I can tell you anything?
We can’t fix it if we never face it
What if we find a way to escape it?

We could be       free,       free…
We can’t fix it if we never face it,
let the past be the past ’til it’s weightless.

Ohhh, so take my
hand, it’s open…
(free, free)
      What if we

heal what’s broken?
(free, free)

      I tried to hide but somethin’ broke,
     I couldn’t sing, but you give me hope,
we can’t fix it if we never face it,
let the past be the past ’til it’s weightless…
