Parachutes
Charlie Simpson Lyrics

I don't need a parachute
I am strong enough to take care of myself; I don't need your help or support.

You don't need to ask if I'm okay
I assure you that I am fine, and I don't need you constantly checking on me.

I can look after myself
I am capable of taking care of myself and don't need anyone else to do it for me.

We've been walking for hours now
We have been traveling for a long time; it's been tiring and exhausting.

My feet are starting to itch
My feet are becoming uncomfortable and sore from all the walking.

Blisters crack all over my skin
My feet have developed blisters from all the walking, and it has caused me a lot of discomfort.

And my shoes don't even fit
My shoes are not comfortable, and it is making it more difficult for me to walk.

I have tried to carry you
I have made an effort to support and take care of you.

As far as I could go but I'm not strong
I have done everything in my power to help you, but I have reached the limit of my ability.

Enough to do this on my own
I don't have the strength to continue carrying us both; I need to focus on myself.

I pack my bags and leave this town
I am leaving this place and moving on with my life because I am not welcome here anymore.

Cause I'm not welcome back here any more
I have damaged my relationship with this place and cannot return.

I'm so sorry for the pain
I apologize for the discomfort or suffering I have caused you.

Sorry for the aches
I apologize for any bodily discomfort or soreness I may have caused you.

Sorry for the moods I'm swinging
I apologize for any irrational or sudden changes in my emotions that may have affected you negatively.

But I don't need your hand
I don't require your help or support to continue with my life.

I don't need your heart
I don't need your love, affection, or emotional support to be happy.

I'm so sorry for the greed
I apologize for any selfish or excessive desire for something that has hurt you.

Sorry for the hate
I apologize for any intense feelings of dislike or anger towards you.

Sorry for the mess I left you
I apologize for the problems or issues that I left you with.

But I don't want it back
I don't want to deal with those problems anymore and have moved on with my life.

Well may the love, that we share, come alive tonight
May the love that we once had for each other rekindle or be rediscovered tonight.

I don't need it back
I don't need to have those problems brought back into my life; I am better off without them.
