heartstop. beat so fast
only boy i ever loved gave up too soon
you forgot who we were
break through we want to be free
i jumped and you let go
free falling into the unknown
rest in uncertainty
i can be
with or without you
you may never know what you gave up
but to me it is quite clear
you thought you deserved more
and i thought i deserved us
break through
i jumped and you let go
free falling into the unknown
rest in uncertainty
i can be
with or without you
the lies i let myself believe
the lies you told i choose to forgive
we were preparing for this all along
could've taken my hand but you're just not strong
enough is enough
restore our peace
i withdrew my roots and i am free
i jumped and you let go
free falling into the unknown
rest in uncertainty
i can be
with or without you
