Gravity
Papa Roach Lyrics

I was there on the day truth died
I was present when the truth about myself and my life was exposed.

Blood on my hands throw 'em up in the sky
I am guilty of my actions and I am not afraid to acknowledge them.

I was the number one sinner, no less
I was the most sinful person, and there was no one worse than me.

My life was a lie, my wish was a death
I had been living a false life, and I wished to die instead of continuing to live in deception.

I fell in love with the ways of the world
I became enamored with the superficial desires of the world: money, fame, and pleasure.

Money, the fame, the boose, the girls
I indulged in financial gain, popularity, alcohol, and women.

But I couldn't stay faithful, if I've tried
I was unable to remain committed to any of the things I pursued, despite trying to do so.

I turned in to a devil, you could see it in my eyes
I transformed into a malicious, evil person, and my physical appearance reflected that transformation.

I blacked out, told everything I ever did
I became unconscious and shared with those around me all of my past actions.

I couldn't take all the lies I was living with
I was unable to bear the falsehoods of my life any longer.

I broke your heart, woke up the next day
I caused you emotional pain, and the next day, I came to realize the severity of my actions.

My bag its outside, yellling "Get the hell away!"
I packed my belongings and shouted at you to leave me alone.

You're not a husband, not a father, just a pig
You are neither a good spouse nor a good parent, but rather a repulsive human being.

And you cant never change all the things that you did
You will never be able to rectify the mistakes and wrongs you have committed.

That's when I knew it, it wouldn't last
At that moment, I realized that the relationship we had was not going to endure.

You'll never get away, when you're running from the past
No matter how much you try to escape the repercussions of your past, you will never succeed.

I will fly into outer space
I will go far away from this world.

I'll float away, but you're my gravity
Although I am physically leaving, you still have a strong emotional pull on me.

I will die, to love another day
I must let go of my past and all that it entails in order to love again.

We rise again, and lose our gravity
We can move on from our mistakes and rise to new heights, leaving behind the emotional baggage that holds us down.

I'm a broken man, I'm full of sin
I am a damaged person who is weighed down by my sins.

I'm sick of all this hell that I'm living in
I am tired of living in perpetual misery.

And I can't escape it, this is how it feels
I am trapped in my own emotional turmoil and can't seem to escape it.

When you try to numb the pain with a thousand pills
Attempting to alleviate my suffering with medication has only resulted in further anguish.

You tore me down, wish that I was dead
You emotionally destroyed me to the point where I wished I was no longer alive.

Said you wanna sleep alone in another bed
You expressed a desire to sleep with someone else and end our relationship.

But when I push away, you only pull me closer
Despite my attempts to distance myself from you, you still have a powerful emotional grip on me.

Its only over when we both wanna say its over
Our relationship will only end when both of us agree that it should end.

I gotta change this is not who I am
I acknowledge that I need to grow and evolve as a person because my current self is not who I want to be.

I wanna start over wanna try this again
I want to wipe the slate clean and attempt to have a fresh start with you.

You're everything I need, everything I'm not
You possess everything that I lack and everything that I desire.

So pull the trigger give me one more shot
I am pleading with you to give me one final chance to make things work between us.

You love me, you hate me, you kiss me, you break me
Your love is a source of both joy and pain, as well as hope and despair.

You lifted me up, just to watch as you broke me
You lifted me up emotionally only to tear me down and break my heart.

You promised me, look me straight in the eyes
You made a promise to me and assured me that it was genuine and sincere.

Don't matter what you say, I don't know truth from the lies
I can no longer discern what is true and what is false when it comes to our relationship.

I helped you up, like I always do
I have always been there to support you and help you when you needed it.

I forgave you for your sins and I carried you through them
I have forgiven you for your mistakes and helped you overcome them.

What the hell have we thought, we always knew
We knew from the beginning that our relationship was fraught with challenges and pitfalls.

You will bleed for me, and I will bleed for you
We will both suffer and experience pain for the sake of our love and commitment to one another.

Baby we can float away
We have the ability to let go of our past and start anew together.
