Gravity
Papa Roach/Maria Brink Lyrics

I was there on the day truth died
I witnessed the day when truth lost its value

Blood on my hands throw 'em up in the sky
I am responsible for my own actions, and I am not hiding from them

I was the number one sinner, no less
I was the most sinful person among all

My life was a lie, and my wish was a death
I was not living my life truly, and I wished for death instead

I fell in love with the ways of the world
I was attracted to the materialistic and superficial aspects of the world

Money, the fame, the booze, the girls
I was obsessed with wealth, popularity, alcohol, and women

But I couldn't stay faithful, if I've tried
Despite my efforts, I couldn't remain loyal to anyone or anything

I turned in to a devil, you could see it in my eyes
I transformed into an evil person, and it was evident in my eyes

I blacked out, told everything I ever did
I lost my consciousness and confessed all my wrongdoings

I couldn't take all the lies I was living with
I was tired of living a life of deception and dishonesty

I broke your heart, woke up the next day
I hurt you deeply, and the next day, I realized the damage I had caused

My bags outside, yelling, "Get the hell away!
I was asked to leave, and my belongings were already packed outside

You're not a husband, not a father, just a pig
You are not a decent husband or a father, but a despicable person

And you can't never change all the things that you did!"
You are incapable of undoing all the wrongs you have committed

That's when I knew it, it wouldn't last
That was the moment when I realized that our relationship was coming to an end

You never get away, when you're running from the past
You can never move forward if you keep avoiding and ignoring your past mistakes

I will fly into outer space
I attempt to escape this world and its problems

I float away, but you're my gravity
Although I am trying to escape, you are the one thing that keeps me grounded

I will die to love another day
I am willing to let go of my past self and start anew

We rise again and lose our gravity
When we start fresh, we let go of our old burdens and become lighter

I'm a broken man, I'm full of sin
I am a flawed and guilt-ridden person who has lost his way

I'm sick of all this hell that I'm living in
I am tired of living a miserable life

And I can't escape it, this is how it feels
I cannot run away from this reality, this is how I truly feel

When you try to numb the pain with a thousand pills
When one tries to escape their problems using drugs

You tore me down, wished that I was dead
You destroyed me emotionally, and wished for my death

Said you wanna sleep alone in another bed
You expressed your desire to end our relationship

But when I push away, you only pull me closer
Whenever I try to leave, you entice me to stay

It's only over when we both wanna say it's over
Until we both choose it, we can never truly end our relationship

I gotta change this is not who I am
I have to transform myself since this is not my true nature

I wanna start over wanna try this again
I desire a fresh start, and want to attempt at fixing things

You're everything I need, everything I'm not
You have all the qualities I lack

So pull the trigger, give me one more shot
Give me another opportunity at fixing things

You love me, you hate me, you kiss me, you break me
You have a complex and intense relationship with me

You lifted me up just to watch as you broke me
You helped me up only to senselessly destroy me

You promised me, looked me straight in the eyes
You made a guarantee while gazing into my eyes

No matter what you say, I don't know truth from the lies
Even though you say something, it's hard for me to know if it's true or false

I helped you up, like I always do
I always assisted you when you needed help

I forgave you for your sins and I carried you through them
I have pardoned all your mistakes and helped you at every turn

No matter how hard we fought, we always knew
Despite our conflicts, we remained confident of our love

You will bleed for me, and I will bleed for you
We will both experience pain for each other

Baby, we can float away
We can abandon all of our issues and escape together
