Falling Up

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

'Cause I get so lonely and you get so low
And I look 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 breathing
Oh, I'm barely breathing

'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

I gotta change me
And If I wake up now, there's a chance to start again
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 caving in
And I thought I'd be happy but I'm barely breathing
Oh, I'm barely breathing

'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

And I hate the man that I've turned into
And I've come so far, what did I lose?
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 breathing
Oh, I'm barely breathing

'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
