Plagued with
Desperate desire
Not to own it
But to discard the
Need to hold onto
So desperate to guard shit
Overprotective
At the just the suggestion
Of risk
(Diminish it)
A life
(not experienced)
But you talk, talk, talk
(of living it)
Reveals
(a hypocrite)
I want a free mind
free fall
freedom
To let it go now
Love trickled in so slowly
And I tried to hold it
Afraid of my heart being lonely
But afraid to expose it
Oh we calculate
All the risks we take
Then we hesitate
And we say we're fine
But we can't be fine
Cos it don't feel right
And I don't wanna live like this
We don't wanna live like this
You had your heart broke once
You rose once more
We've all been down
This rode before
Free mind
Free fall
Freedom
To let it go
