I never knew what they meant, when they said they're free falling while standing still.
I was confused when they said they feel drunk when they're sober, I was without a clue.
They claimed the world had froze for a second, but I know that's impossible.
To loose your mind but stil feel fine, I didn't know 'til I met you. '
Cause you crushed me, kept me, held so gently.
And of course it's gonna hurt when you take it away.
It's cool, I'm fine, I'll be alright.
But I promise you one thing, you'll miss me someday.
Between you and me, we were perfect, we were breathless, we seemed worth it.
Between you and me, I was happy, you were contagious, catch you laughing.

And you crushed me, kept me, held so gently.
And of course it's gonna hurt when you take it away.
It's cool, I'm fine, I'll be alright.
But I promise you one thing, oh baby, you'll miss me someday.
Sometimes I like to pretend that you're holding me in your arms again.
Thinking about the good times we've been through, I'll be the first to say I miss you.
But here's the thing I say in all honesty, I don't want leaving me to be anywhere near easy.
But you crushed me, kept me, held so gently.
And of course it's gonna hurt when you take it away.
It's cool, I'm fine, I'll be alright.
But I promise you one thing, oh baby you'll miss me someday.
You'll miss me someday.
Crushed me, Kept me, Held so gently.
It's cool, I'm fine, I'll be alright.
Yeah I'll be alright.
