lyrics
The air feels heavy I can’t breath in here
a long long time ago liked having you near me
but now I’m big and sometimes even strong
I’m strong enough to see that you were wrong
I never needed you, needed you with me
the echo of your voice still in my head
I try my best forgetting what you said
I’ve heard so many truer things since then
from braver and better men
I never needed you, needed you with me
it’s time to shake the shadows of you from over my head
these shoulders aren’t strong enough for two
it’s time to shake the shadows of you from over my head
so many things I wish I could undo
you had this power everyone could see
they didn’t know you stole it all from me
I’ve seen you try to get by on your own
haunted by the chances you have blown
‘cause you needed me needed me with you
it’s time to shake the shadows of you from over my head
these shoulders aren’t strong enough for two
it’s time to shake the shadows of you from over my head
so many things I wish I could undo
