Song：Talk Me Down
Artist：Alyssa Reid

Baby, baby you're driftin' away
Won't be such a bad thing
We both be better if anyway
And I've been packing up your suitcase
Full of all mistakes
Burning through my mind by the time
I find it's harder
As much as I try
I know
I can't put you behind me
you behind
But everything you do
When you say
Makes it harder to stay
Just means² you're without me
you're without
No, you won't talk me down
I'm all the way up here now
What I'm looking for
Isn't back there on the ground
It's a long way to fall
When everything looks so small
I think I'll stay for awhile
You can watch me up high
But you can't talk me down
Lately³
I've been running daily
I've been doing my thing
When time is stopping
What the sudden⁴?
I'm done
Wasting time with someone
The only time you need me
Is when you start to fall
I find it's harder
As much as I try
I know
I can't put you behind me
you behind
But everything you do
When you say
Makes it harder to stay
Just means you're without me
you're without
No, you won't talk me down
I'm all the way up here now
What I'm looking for
Isn't back there on the ground
It's a long way to fall
When everything looks so small
I think I'll stay for awhile
You can watch me up high
But you can't talk me down
I'm bound til I'm broken
Your words left unspoken
As long as you know
That I'm on my own way
And my wings have opened
I know where I'm going
Nothing you do
Will make me stay
No, you won't talk me down
I'm all the way up here now
What I'm looking for
Isn't back there on the ground
It's a long way to fall
When everything looks so small
I think I'll stay for awhile
You can watch me up high
But you can't talk me down
I'm bound til I'm broken
But you won't talk me down
As long as you know
That I'm on my own way
But you won't talk me down
Cause I'm all the way up here now
No, you won't talk me down
