I feel chained, chained down
You shoved me to the ground
I can’t run, I can’t shout
Just let me out

So heartless, this couldn’t mean less
Gonna push it in your face
I’m only human
And I’ve got something to say

[Chorus]
Let me rise, let me fall
Let me breathe
I wanna lose control, I’m not afraid to lose it all
Let me break, let me crawl
Cause I’ll get back up again if you let me fall

If I burn down in this fire
Well, I got myself to blame
I can’t stop or give it up
I need to feel the pain

Can you hear me?
Don’t come near me
You’ll just get in my way
I’m only human
And there’s nothing you can say

[Chorus]
Let me rise, let me fall
Let me breathe
I wanna lose control, I’m not afraid to lose it all
Let me break, let me crawl
Cause I will get up again if you let me fall

Say you know who I am
And what I’m about
Then you’ll understand that I feel alone
I live my own life

[Chorus]
Let me rise, let me fall
Let me breathe
I wanna lose control, I’m not afraid to lose it all
Let me break, let me crawl
Cause I will get up again if you let me fall

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If you let me fall
If you let me
If you let me fall
If you let me fall

I will get up again if you let me fall
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
If you let me fall
If you let me fall
Let me fall
