I can't anymore,

I'm trying,

But I can't,

I'm dying.


Slowly but surely,

I'm leaving you,

Slowly but surely,

I'm fading.


I look happy,

I know,

Am I happy?

No.


It's a feeling I can't shake,

It follows me in my wake,

Where I go it follows,

I can't leave.


There is one way to go,

One way I can be released,

It won't follow me there,

It can't follow me there.


The waves crashed,

I stood above them,

The cliff I found a saviour,

It won't follow me here.


One leap it's gone,

One leap I'm free,

My life?

It's gone,

But I am free.
