Cannonball Lyrics

Break down
Break down
Break down

I was scared to death I was losing my mind
Break down
I couldnt close my eyes I was pacing all night
I think I found the light out the end of the tunnel
I couldnt find the truth I was going under

But I wont hide inside
I gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Lonely inside and light the fuse
Light it now, light it now, light it now

And now I will start living today
Today, today I close the door
I got this new beginning and I will fly
Ill fly like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Ill fly, Ill fly, Ill fly like a cannonball

Freedom
I let go of fear and the peace came quickly
Freedom
I was in the dark and then it hit me
I chose suffering and pain in the falling rain
I know, I gotta get out into the world again

But I wont hide inside
I gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Lonely inside and light the fuse
Light it now, light it now, light it now

And now I will start living today
Today, today I close the door
I got this new beginning and I will fly
Ill fly like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Ill fly, Ill fly, Ill fly like a cannonball

Break down
I was scared to death I was losing my mind
Break down
I gotta get out into the world again

And now I will start living today
Today, today I close the door
I got this new beginning and I will fly
Ill fly like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Ill fly, Ill fly, Ill fly like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Ill fly, Ill fly, Ill fly like a cannonball

Like a cannonball
Ill fly, Ill fly, Ill fly like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Ill fly, Ill fly, Ill fly like a cannonball

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is all about moving on in different situations like moving on from your heart break, if the crush doesn't like you or love you back and if you're loved ones passed away.

@domblue I agree, I also think that she is throwing some of her feelings in the song about Cory Monteith
