Starting off, it was better than this
I know it hurts
But do you like to pretend
That you can just let go
Of the grip that you hold so tight?
'Cause they can tell
By the look in your eye
They're down a less traveled road
There's a need for change
A need to feel the waves
To feel free
Like the weight's gone off my shoulders
From the top of the world
I can finally breathe
Do you feel like me?
Have you been through
What I've been through?
'Cause from the top of the world's
Where you can finally see
It's safe to just let go
Slow it down to recapture the words
That brought you here and
Taught you what you learned
They don't care that you can't stop shaking
Just understand you're all right for now
Say what you mean
Then make your way out
'Cause you're down a dead end road
If things don't change
Then go your way
To feel free
Like the weight's gone off my shoulders
From the top of the world
I can finally breathe
Do you feel like me?
Have you been through
What I've been through?
'Cause from the top of the world's
Where you can finally see
It's safe to just let go
You lost your way home
You lost it all, it seems
You lost your way home
You're better off
You're better off without it
Understand, understand
Understand you're all right for now
Slow it down
Just slow it down (x2)
To feel free
Like the weight's gone off my shoulders
From the top of the world
I can finally breathe
Do you feel like me?
Have you been through
What I've been through?
'Cause from the top of the world's
Where you can finally see
It's safe to just let go
Have you been through
What I've been through?
It's safe to just let go
I know it hurts
But do you like to pretend
That you can just let go
Of the grip that you hold so tight?
'Cause they can tell
By the look in your eye
They're down a less traveled road
A need to feel the waves
Like the weight's gone off my shoulders
From the top of the world
I can finally breathe
Do you feel like me?
Have you been through
What I've been through?
'Cause from the top of the world's
Where you can finally see
It's safe to just let go
That brought you here and
Taught you what you learned
They don't care that you can't stop shaking

'Cause you're down a dead end road
If things don't change
Then go your way
Like the weight's gone off my shoulders
From the top of the world

Have you been through

It's safe to just let go
Have you been through
What I've been through?
It's safe to just let go

I think this song is trying to lift yourself up above bad things that might happen in your life, and maybe somewhat let go of those things, not forgetting them, but maybe attempting to somewhat move forward with your life.
