  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.
