Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I was there on the day truth died Blood on my hands throw 'em up in the sky I was the number one sinner, no less My life was a lie, and my wish was a death I fell in love with the ways of the world Money, the fame, the boose, the girls But I couldn't stay faithful, if I've tried I turned in to a devil, you could see it in my eyes I blacked out, told everything I ever did I couldn't take all the lies I was living with I broke your heart, woke up the next day My bags outside, yelling, "Get the hell away! You're not a husband, not a father, just a pig And you can't never change all the things that you did!" That's when I knew it, it wouldn't last You never get away, when you're running from the past I will fly into outer space I float away, but you're my gravity I will die to love another day We rise again and lose our gravity I'm a broken man, I'm full of sin I'm sick of all this hell that I'm living in And I can't escape it, this is how it feels When you try to numb the pain with a thousand pills You tore me down, wished that I was dead Said you wanna sleep alone in another bed But when I push away, you only pull me closer It's only over when we both wanna say it's over I gotta change this is not who I am I wanna start over wanna try this again You're everything I need, everything I'm not So pull the trigger, give me one more shot I will fly into outer space I float away, but you're my gravity (I will die) die to love another day We rise again and lose our gravity You love me, you hate me, you kiss me, you break me You lifted me up just to watch as you broke me You promised me, looked me straight in the eyes No matter what you say, I don't know truth from the lies I helped you up, like I always do I forgave you for your sins and I carried you through them No matter how hard we fought, we always knew You will bleed for me, and I will bleed for you Fly into outer space I float away, but you're my gravity Die to love another day We rise again and lose our gravity I will fly into outer space I float away, but you're my gravity (I will die) die to love another day We rise again and lose our gravity I will fly into outer space I float away, but you're my gravity (I will die) die to love another day We rise again and lose our gravity Baby, we can float away
