Verse 1
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
My feet are starting to itch
Blisters crack all over my skin
And my shoes don't even fit.
Chorus
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. (oo Oo oh Oh)
Verse 2
I have tried to carry you
As far as I can go but I'm not strong
enough to do this on my own
I pack my bags to leave this town
Cause I'm not welcome back here any more
Upon these shores
Chorus
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.
Bridge
Oh, may the love that we share come alive tonight
And may the love that we share come alive tonight
Chorus
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.
