Lyrics

Parachutes - unplugged

I don't need a parachute

You don't need to ask if I'm okay

I can look after myself

We've been walking for hours now

Nothing is starting to reach

Blisters crack all over my skin

Reminds you if you're living free

I'm so sorry for the pain

Sorry for the aches

Sorry for the moods I'm swinging

But I don't need your hand

I don't need your heart

I don't need a parachute

I have tried to carry you

As far as I could go but I'm not strong

I love to do this on my own

I pack my bags to leave this town

Cause I'm not working back here any more

On this shore

I'm so sorry for the pain

Sorry for the aches

Sorry for the moods I'm swinging

But I don't need your hand

I don't need your heart

I don't need a parachute

I'm so sorry for the greed

Sorry for the hate

Sorry for the mess I left you

But I don't want it back

I don't need it back

I don't need a parachute

What with the love that we share come alive tonight

What with the love that we share come alive tonight

I'm so sorry for the pain

Sorry for the aches

Sorry for the moods I'm swinging

But I don't need your hand

I don't need your heart

I don't need a parachute

I'm so sorry for the greed

Sorry for the hate

Sorry for the mess I left you

But I don't want it back

I don't need it back

I don't need a parachute
