  • I tried my best to not let you go
    I don't like the view
    From halfway down
    Just promise me that it won't be slow
    Will I feel the impact of the ground?
    I tried to be something that I'll never be
    Why waste another precious hour?
    Why waste another precious ounce?
    I'd rather leave somewhat of a legacy
    Familiar
    A thought that's so familiar

    Let me close my eyes with dignity
    Let's end it all, the world's not far behind
    So what's the point of staying?
    It's going up in flames, I know
    Yes, I know, ooh
    Oh-oh-oh

    Hey-hey
    Oh-oh
    (Hey)

    Just hold my heartbeat close to you
    Remember how it always beats for you
    I'm falling at the speed of light
    I'm staring at your shrinking face, don't cry
    You know my heart belongs to you
    One last time, say that you want me too
    The only words that gave me life
    Now I'll see you on the other side

    Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
    Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
    Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
    Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

    Oh, mama, I'll pray
    I'm running away
    Oh-oh
    Hey-hey (oh, no)
    Oh-oh
    Hey-hey
    It's a threat, not a promise (mmm)
    If you're looking for rage (mmm, oh)
    If you're looking for ragin'
    Quiet for days
    Baby, you're running away
    Ayy-yeah
    It's a threat, not a promise
    It's a threat
    Yeah-yeah
    Ah-ha (oh)
    Ah-ha (oh)
    Ah-ha
    Ah-ha
    Mama, I'll pray
    Mama, I'll pray Writer/s: Abel Tesfaye, Elizabeth Grant, Mike Dean, Patrick Greenaway
