Shot Down
Josh Woodward Lyrics

Why even try to justify leaving, why not just run away?
Instead of trying to explain why you're leaving, why not just leave without giving a reason?

Why even wait and hesitate breathing, why would you want to stay?
Why would you even consider waiting and staying when the situation is so bad?

Nothing you say could change the way he feels, nothing could save you now
No matter what you say or do, it won't change the fact that he doesn't want to be with you.

So just let this go
Accept reality and move on from this situation.

Every collapse that came to pass faded out of your memory
You've forgotten all the times things fell apart in the past.

All of the times he left you blind, jaded, down on your aching knees
He's hurt you countless times before, leaving you feeling confused, cynical and vulnerable.

Why don't you see the lies that he's telling, why don't you give it up?
Why can't you see that he's lying to you and just move on?

And just let him go
Accept that the relationship is over and move on without him.

Shot down, with no sound
You're feeling devastated and alone.

To the cold ground below
You've hit rock bottom and it feels like there's no coming back.

There's no one around, you won't be found
You feel isolated and like nobody understands what you're going through.

So hang your head and let it fade away
You feel defeated and just want the pain to end.

Your heart on a string, without a wing flying, no one to hold the kite
You feel like your emotions are out of control and nobody is there to support you.

He let you go, but still you blow by, oblivious to the height
You're still chasing after him despite him being the reason for your pain.

Check out behind and you will find nothing's holding you to the ground
If you look back, you'll realize that you have nothing to lose if you move on.

Don't let him pull you down, just let him drown alone
Don't continue to let him control your emotions, let him deal with his own issues.

You'll land, and someday you will find a truer hand
If you move on, you'll eventually find someone better who treats you the way you deserve to be treated.

I know you tried to see his side clearly, I know you gave your all
You did your best to understand his perspective and put in a lot of effort in the relationship.

I know you died a little inside when nobody heard your call
It hurt you deeply when nobody listened to your cries for help.

Every mistake you come to make grows and echoes inside your brain
Each mistake you make weighs heavily on you and you can't help but dwell on it.

You need to let them go
You need to stop obsessing over your mistakes and move on from them.
