lyrics

Forget keeping any of this clean
And dry yourself out in dishonesty

You know I'll always hang here
Drift through every breeze dear
I've grown lighter letting go of that fear

You'll be better off without me
I've seen pictures
The grass is greener
I have begun to believe
Nothing feels right in this standstill
But as the rope snaps the wind will carry me headfirst and over the hills
My god what was I thinking

The colors seemed so bright the first time I arrived here
I saw what I never thought I'd see
Then as they turned to gray I found myself remaining
Hoping that they'd return to me

Now finding piece in my escape (without you)
No longer bent up out of shape (without you)
Darling I wish that I could stay (without you)
Through this bitter ending

But you'll be better off without me
I've seen pictures
The grass is greener
I have begun to believe
Nothing feels right in this standstill
But as the rope snaps the wind will carry me headfirst and over the hills
I've dreamt up plenty of problems for myself

All of the memories
They stagnate inside me
They're nostalgically threatening and I can't make up my mind
So while I'm still clinging
My grip is finally loosening
There's no need to worry
Despite what you think I can find my way back to the ground
All we strive to be is healthy and truly happy
And I can't have that if I stay here

I'll go on now
Let go somehow
I'll go on now
Let go of me somehow
