[Verse 1]
I was just treading water
Try to swim out of the pain
Looking over my shoulder
To outrun a hurricane
And every time I tried to breathe
It only took my breath away
Always one step away
Yeah, from the fall
[Chorus]
And I've been down that road before
Thought I was living, I was dying more
So I won't leave or close that door
'Cause I don't need to hurt anymore
And I ain't losing no more sleep
Falling down and begging please
'Cause I've been down that road before
And I don't need to hurt anymore
[Verse 2]
No more smoke and mirrors
I always lost what I tried to hide
Now everything's getting clearer
I like watching what's on my mind
And every time I tried to breathe
You only took my breath away
Lucky I'm still standing after all
[Chorus]
And I've been down that road before
Thought I was living, I was dying more
So I won't leave or close that door
'Cause I don't need to hurt anymore
And I ain't losing no more sleep
Falling down and begging please
'Cause I've been down that road before
And I don't need to hurt anymore
[Bridge]
Every time I tried to breathe
You always took my breath away
[Chorus]
And I've been down that road before
Thought I was living, I was dying more
So I won't leave or close that door
'Cause I don't need to hurt anymore
And I ain't losing no more sleep
Falling down and begging please
'Cause I've been down that road before
And I don't need to hurt anymore
[Outro]
Oh-oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I don't need to hurt anymore
