Breakdown
Breakdown
I was scared to death, I was losing my mind
(Breakdown)
I couldn’t close my eyes, I was pacing all night
(But now)
I think I found the light at the end of the tunnel
(Had my doubts)
I couldn’t find the truth I was going under
But I won’t hide inside
I gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Lonely inside, and light the fuse
Light it now, light it now, light it now
And now I will start living today
Today, today, I close the door
I got this new beginning and I will fly
I’ll fly like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
I’ll fly, I’ll fly, I’ll fly like a cannonball
(Freedom)
I let go of fear and the peace came quickly
(Freedom)
I was in the dark and then it hit me
I chose, suffering and pain
In the falling rain, I know
I gotta get out into the world again
But I won’t hide inside
I gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Lonely inside and light the fuse
Light it now, light it now, light it now
And now I will start living today
Today, today, I close the door
I got this new beginning and I will fly
I’ll fly like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
I’ll fly, I’ll fly, I’ll fly like a cannonball
Breakdown
I was scared to death, I was losing my mind
Breakdown
I gotta get out into the world again
And now I will start living today
Today, today, I close the door
I got this new beginning and I will fly
I’ll fly like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
I’ll fly, I’ll fly, I’ll fly like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
I’ll fly, I’ll fly, I’ll fly like a cannonball
