Why Can't I Get Away From You?

If you’ve been following me for a while, then you know that I’ve featured Sara Bareilles’ “Gravity” as a past Fly Lyrics selection. But even now, the song continues to resonate with me, as countless readers still struggle with the tough task of breaking free from the clutches of an old flame. “Set me free,” is what they all seem to be helplessly crying out in their emotional letters to me.

The raw emotion shown throughout this rendition of “Gravity” tangibly displays the pain and frustration of being held down by a former love that just won’t let you go. If you can relate to Bareilles’ struggle, then I’m sure this video will strike a lasting chord with you.

This is good stuff right here. Can you relate?

The Fly Lyrics
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do
I’ll still feel you here ’til the moment I’m gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your reign.

[CHORUS:]
Set me free, leave me be.
I don’t want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I’m supposed to be.
But you’re on to me and all over me.

You loved me ’cause I’m fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone.

[CHORUS]

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see t
That you’re everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you’re neither friend nor foe though I can’t seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you’re keeping me down

    Very heart touching song that resonates with….depression. It reminds me of Evanscence’s ‘All of me’. All we have to figure out now, is how to walk away from those relationships….

    My apologies, Evanescence ‘My Immortal’

    I feel like I’m going through this right now. My fleshly desire isn’t giving me what my Spirit thirsts for, so I have told him numerous times that it wouldn’t work. He calls and calls and arguments ensue. He says he wants to be with me. He wants to give me what I need, which is why he calls me, but he doesn’t give me what I need (Direction and stability!) So I don’t answer his calls anymore. It hurts me to see his number in my phone cause I want to be there for him, but he’s not there for me :o (
    I know that I’m fragile if I answer the phone.

    I used to have the same struggle with Marvin Gaye’s “Distant Lover”. There was no way to get away from the songs or the woman i was trying to avoid. It took years to hear that song without feeling a slight twinge.

    I can relate. I was with my 1st love for a long time and when we ended, it seems I could not get away. There were too many songs we shared and too many people asking about him. We were truly intertwined. You just have to get to a point when you realize you have to let go. Keep the memories, but move on. It’s the same thing we go thru then someone we love pass away, you just have to let go.
