Long Way Down

Keep your manners, we're a ton

I fell on every step I took

No one will miss me when I'm gone

Sometimes I need a break

And they will hit you very hard

It won't take long and then you'll die

If I could choose to be dead or alive

My old man told me

"Take a gun or a knife"

Release the weight that pulls you down

Let go, let go, gotta give it away

You better learn to swim before you drown

Let go, let go, gotta give it away, yeah

Let go, let go, gotta give it away, yeah

These are the lessons of my life

You'll never change 'til you die

And she won't, she won't tell you why

But she will watch you touch the line

And they will hit you very hard

It won't take long and then you'll die

If I could choose to be dead or alive

My old man told me

"Take a gun or a knife"

Release the weight that pulls you down

Let go, let go, gotta give it away

You better learn to swim before you drown

Let go, let go, gotta give it away, yeah

Let go, let go, gotta give it away, yeah

Now let me hear you, can't you see the smile on my face?

Now let me hear you

Now let me hear you, can't you see the smile on my face?

Now let me hear you

Let go, let go, gotta give it away

Let go, let go, gotta give it away

Let go, let go, gotta give it away

Let go, let go, gotta give it away
