Starting off it was better than this
I know it hurts but do you like to pretend
That you can just let go?

Of the grip that you hold so tight
Cause they can tell by the look in your eye
They're down a less traveled road

There's a need for change, a need to feel the waves

To feel free like the weight's gone off my shoulders
From the top of the world and I can finally breathe
And do you feel like me? Have you been through what I've been through?
Cause from the top of the world's where you can finally see
It's safe to just let go

Slow it down to recapture the words
That brought you here and taught you what you learned
They don't care that you can't stop shaking

Just understand you're alright for now
Say what you mean then make your way out
Cause you're down a dead-end road

If things don't change then go your way

To feel free like the weight's gone off my shoulders
From the top of the world and I can finally breathe
And do you feel like me? Have you been through what I've been through?
Cause from the top of the world's where you can finally see
It's safe to just let go, it's safe to just let go

You lost your way home, you lost it all, it seems
You lost your way home, you're better off
You're better off without it

Understand, understand
Understand you're alright for now
Slow it down, slow it down

Understand, understand
Understand you're alright for now
Slow it down, slow it down

To feel free like the weight's gone off my shoulders
From the top of the world and I can finally breathe
And do you feel like me? Have you been through what I've been through?
Cause from the top of the world's where you can finally see
It's safe to just let go

Have you been through what I've been through?
It's safe to just let go
Have you been through what I've been through?
