Waterfalls Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
She  chase a high that she'll never reach
Waste  her time with that ketamine
In her mind, it'll set her free
Why won't they let her breathe?
That  numbness‚ there ain't nothin' like that numbness
That  feelin' she in love with‚ let it go and say‚ "Fuck it" (Fuck it)
Yeah, fightin' with her mom, hard to get along
Everything  that you ever do is wrong
Things got complicated‚ she want to walk away (Walk away)
Help's on the way, turn the funeral to a holiday (To a holiday)
All the pain, the tear drops fall on her face
Like  waterfalls (Like waterfalls)
Just like waterfalls (Just like waterfalls)
She wants to be forgotten (Be forgotten)‚ lonely way too often
She can't stop it all (Stop it all)
As her conscious fade away (Fade away)
Colors fade to grey (Fade to grey)
She hate the day, can't sleep at night
In her dreams, she might just be alright
If she drops it all (Drops it all)
If she drops it all (She drops it all)
[Chorus]
Run, run
Chase them waterfalls (Chase them waterfalls), them waterfalls (Them waterfalls)
Run, run
This seems impossible (Impossible), impossible (Impossible)
Yeah, yeah


[Verse 2]
She can't remember the last time that she smiled
No company around, she need somebody now
Mom was never proud, dad was never that interested
He was always outta town, scared she gonna drown
In them waterfalls (Waterfalls), in them waterfalls (Waterfalls)
She better off alone (Better off alone)
Nobody ever notice that she don't talk at all (Talk at all)
Yeah, it ain't nothin' like the old days
That pain resemblin' cold rain
She locked away in her own space
Got introduced to that cocaine and forgot it at all (Forgot it all)
Shouldn't have got involved (Got involved)

[Chorus]
Run, run
Chase them waterfalls (Chase them waterfalls), them waterfalls (Them waterfalls)
Run, run
This seems impossible (Impossible), impossible (Impossible)
Yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Chase them waterfalls, them waterfalls
Chase them waterfalls, them waterfalls
Chase them waterfalls
