"Falling Up" lyrics - DEAN LEWIS
Things were happening
I felt the weight of the expectation on my chest
My mind was traveling
But I swear that I don't remember where it went
They said things were growing
So why do I feel like nothing at all is left?
So I'll keep on moving
If I'm standing still then I'll feel the emptiness
[Pre-Chorus:]
'Cause I get so lonely, and you get so low
And I looked so stupid when I lose control
I'm alone in my bedroom and the walls are cavin' in
And I thought I'd be happy, but I'm barely breathing
Ooh, I'm barely breathing
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm feeling down, but I'm falling up
And I'm breaking out, but not out of luck
As I breathe the air into my lungs
I wanted everything, but nothing's ever good enough
[Post-Chorus:]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
I gotta change me
And if I wake up now there's a chance to start again (Hmm, hmm)
But if I wait
Could I get back to the place where it all began before?
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
[Pre-Chorus:]
I got so lonely, and you got so low
And I looked so stupid, when you came to my show
I'm alone in the spotlight, and the walls are caving in
And I thought I'd be happy, but I'm barely breathing
Ooh, I'm barely breathing
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm feeling down, but I'm falling up
And I'm breaking out, but not out of luck
As I breathe the air, into my lungs
I wanted everything, but nothing's ever good enough
[Bridge:]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And I hate the man that I've turned into
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And I've come so far, what did I lose?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And I swear to God I will make it through
I'll make it through
[Pre-Chorus:]
'Cause I get so lonely and you get so low
And I looked so stupid when you came to my show
I'm alone in the spotlight and the walls are caving in
And I thought I'd be happy, but I'm barely breathing
Ooh, I'm barely breathing
[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm feeling down, but I'm falling up
And I'm breaking out, but not out of luck
As I breathe the air, into my lungs
I wanted everything, but nothing's ever good enough
