See the song's quote (Source genius.com):

 

[Verse 1]

I've been here before

But always hit the floor

I've spent a lifetime runnin'

And I always get away

But with you, I'm feeling somethin'

That makes me wanna stay

 

[Verse 2]

I'm prepared for this

I never shoot to miss

But I feel like a storm is comin'

If I'm gonna make it through the day

Then there's no more use in runnin'

This is somethin' I gotta face

 

[Pre-Chorus]

If I risk it all

Could you break my fall?

 

[Chorus]

How do I live? How do I breathe?

When you're not here, I'm suffocating

I wanna feel love run through my blood

Tell me, is this where I give it all up?

For you, I have to risk it all

'Cause the writing's on the wall

 

Tears in Heaven
