Falling Up (piano acoustics) Songtext
von 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
′Cause if I'm standin' still then I′ll feel the emptiness

′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 caving in
And I thought I′d be happy, but I'm barely breathin′
Ooh, I'm barely breathin′

'Cause I'm feeling down, but I′m fallin′ up
And I'm breakin′ out, but not out of luck
As I breathe the air into my lungs
I wanted everythin', but nothing′s ever good enough


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?

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 cavin' in
And I thought I'd be happy, but I′m barely breathin′
Ooh, I'm barely breathin′

'Cause I′m feelin' down, but I′m fallin' up
And I'm breakin′ out, but not out of luck
As I breathe the air into my lungs
I wanted everythin′, but nothing's ever good enough

(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′ll make it through
I'll make it through

′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 breathin′
Ooh, I'm barely breathin′


'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 everythin', but nothing's ever good enough
