Lyrics
I tried to hide but something broke
– Ngazama ukucasha kodwa kukhona okwaphuka
I tried to sing, couldn’t hit the notes
– Ngazama ukucula, angikwazanga ukushaya amanothi
The words kept catching in my throat
– Amazwi aqhubeka engibamba emphinjeni
I tried to smile, I was suffocating though
– Nokho, ngazama ukumamatheka, ngacindezelwa
But here with you, I can finally breathe
– Kodwa lapha nawe, ekugcineni ngingaphefumula
You say you’re no good, but you’re good for me
– Uthi awulungile, kodwa ulungile kimi
I’ve been hoping to change, now I know we can change
– Bengilokhu ngithemba ukushintsha, manje sengiyazi ukuthi singashintsha
But I won’t if you’re not by my side
– Kodwa ngeke uma ungekho eceleni kwami
Why does it feel right every time I let you in?
– Kungani uzizwa ulungile njalo lapho ngikuvumela ukuba ungene?
Why does it feel like I can tell you anything?
– Kungani kunjengokungathi ngingakutshela okuthile?
All the secrets that keep me in chains and
– Zonke izimfihlo ezingigcina ngiboshwe ngamaketanga futhi
All the damage that might make me dangerous
– Konke ukulimala okungangenza ngibe yingozi
You got a dark side, guess you’re not the only one
– Unalo uhlangothi olumnyama, qagela ukuthi awuyena kuphela
What if we both tried fighting what we’re running from?
– Kuthiwani uma sobabili sizama ukulwa nalokho esibalekela kukho?
We can’t fix it if we never face it
– Asikwazi ukuyilungisa uma singalokothi sibhekane nayo
What if we find a way to escape it?
– Kuthiwani uma sithola indlela yokuphunyuka?
We could be free
– Singaba mahhala
Free
– Free
We can’t fix it if we never face it
– Asikwazi ukuyilungisa uma singalokothi sibhekane nayo
Let the past be the past ’til it’s weightless
– Ake okwedlule kube okwedlule ‘ kuze kube yilapho kungenasisindo
Ooh, time goes by, and I lose perspective
– Ooh, isikhathi siyahamba, futhi ngilahlekelwa umbono
Yeah, hope only hurts, so I just forget it
– Yebo, ithemba libuhlungu kuphela, ngakho ngiyakhohlwa nje
But you’re breaking through all the dark in me
– Kodwa udlula ebumnyameni obukhulu kimi
When I thought that nobody could
– Lapho ngicabanga ukuthi akekho owayengakwazi
And you’re waking up all these parts of me
– Futhi uvusa zonke lezi zingxenye zami
That I thought were buried for good
– Lokho engangicabanga ukuthi kungcwatshwe unomphela
Between imposter and this monster
– Phakathi komkhohlisi nalesi silo
I been lost inside my head
– Ngilahlekile ngaphakathi ekhanda lami
Ain’t no choice when all these voices
– Akukhona ukukhetha lapho wonke la mazwi
Keep me pointing towards no end
– Ngigcine ngikhomba ngasekhoneni
It’s just easy when I’m with you
– Kulula nje uma nginawe
No one sees me the way you do
– Akekho ongibona ngendlela enenza ngayo
I don’t trust it, but I want to
– Angikuthembi, kodwa ngifuna
I keep coming back to
– Ngiyaqhubeka ngibuyela
Why does it feel right every time I let you in?
– Kungani uzizwa ulungile njalo lapho ngikuvumela ukuba ungene?
Why does it feel like I can tell you anything?
– Kungani kunjengokungathi ngingakutshela okuthile?
We can’t fix it if we never face it
– Asikwazi ukuyilungisa uma singalokothi sibhekane nayo
What if we find a way to escape it?
– Kuthiwani uma sithola indlela yokuphunyuka?
We could be free
– Singaba mahhala
Free
– Free
We can’t fix it if we never face it
– Asikwazi ukuyilungisa uma singalokothi sibhekane nayo
Let the past be the past ’til it’s weightless
– Ake okwedlule kube okwedlule ‘ kuze kube yilapho kungenasisindo
Oh, so take my hand, it’s open
– Oh, ngakho thatha isandla sami, kuvulekile
Free, free
– Mahhala, mahhala
What if we heal what’s broken?
– Kuthiwani uma siphulukisa lokho okuphukile?
Free, free
– Mahhala, mahhala
I tried to hide, but something broke
– Ngazama ukucasha, kodwa kukhona okwaphuka
I couldn’t sing, but you give me hope
– Ngangingakwazi ukucula, kodwa unginika ithemba
We can’t fix it if we never face it
– Asikwazi ukuyilungisa uma singalokothi sibhekane nayo
Let the past be the past ’til it’s weightless
– Ake okwedlule kube okwedlule ‘ kuze kube yilapho kungenasisindo
