I cannot back down now!
Now Florence sings and it is clear to me
Things look shiny and new
But something is off, still
I cannot back down now

I got free from it
The moment I told you "this can't go on like this"
I cried like hell, but before this
I knew I could not carry that way

And yet, things might change
you might stay
"I need you to get away
while you stay", I said
But the world opened up to me
thanks to you, and without you too

You pull me, with a word
unexplainable attraction of the souls
might reciprocate with the bodies
or not
You pull me forth, and I fall
Fall from grace?
Nah, don't think so
but my insecurities were myself
not you

it's
just
one
thing
i cannot do

I cannot back down now
I cannot go back to a state
where my mind feels cloudy with life
But I know I cannot stay here
watching the time pass by
