Gravity

no matter what i say or do i'll still feel you here 'til the moment i'm gone.
you hold me without touch. you keep me without chains.
i never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love & not feel your rain.

oh, you loved me 'cause i'm fragile
when i thought that i was strong.
but you touch me for a little while
& all my fragile strength is gone.

set me free, leave me be.
i don't wanna fall another moment into your Gravity
here i am & i stand so tall, just the way i'm supposed to be.
but you're on to me & all over me.

i live here on my knees
as I try to make you see
that you're everything i think i need here on the ground.
but you're neither friend nor foe
though i can't seem to let you go.
the one thing that i still know is that you're keeping me down.

something always brings me back to you. it never takes too long.
