I don't need a parachute You don't need to ask if I'm okay I can look after myself We've been walking for hours now My feet are starting to itch Blisters crack all over my skin And my shoes don't even fit I'm so sorry for the pain Sorry for the aches Sorry for the moods I'm swinging But I don't need your hand I don't need your heart I don't need a parachute I have tried to carry you As far as I could go but I'm not strong Enough to do this on my own I pack my bags and leave this town Cause I'm not welcome back here any more Upon these shores I'm so sorry for the pain Sorry for the aches Sorry for the moods I'm swinging But I don't need your hand I don't need your heart I don't need a parachute I'm so sorry for the greed Sorry for the hate Sorry for the mess I left you But I don't want it back I don't need it back I don't need a parachute Well may the love, that we share, come alive tonight Yeah may the love, that we share, come alive tonight I'm so sorry for the pain Sorry for the aches Sorry for the moods I'm swinging But I don't need your hand I don't need your heart I don't need a parachute I'm so sorry for the greed Sorry for the hate Sorry for the mess I left you But I don't want it back I don't need it back I don't need a parachute
