[Verse 1: Ella Henderson]
When you said it was over
I knew I'd fallen too deep
You made my world feel perfect
Then pulled it from under my feet
I cried for a minute
For a while, I was tryin' to figure out what went wrong, yeah
Now I finally get it
And I see I don't need you to be here, I'm movin' on

[Chorus: Ella Henderson]
I used to think I couldn't be without you, be without you
Now that you're gone, I feel happy as hell
Weight off of me
I can breathe without you, breathe without you
Now that you're gone, I feel lighter
I used to think I couldn't be without you, be without you
Now that you're gone, I feel happy as hell
Weight off of me
I can breathe without you, breathe without you
Now that you're gone, I feel lighter, yeah

[Verse 2: KSI]
Yeah, I'm feeling way better in the space that I'm in
Lost many times so I'm happy when I win
I'm human so the words that you said affect me
Playin' on my mind and in private it upsets me
I don't care anymore
On your photos, I don't stare anymore
I'm using the grief to build a belief that I'm a winner everyday so I don't fear anymore
I'ma show you I'm the greatest till you're sick of it
Overcome so much when in the thick of it
This ain't a holy ghost cause I've been on everyday and every way I've written it
Believe me, I'ma party when it's over
No car cause I'm moving with a chauffeur
Time really is the best
To healing with my own success
And when I'm next revealing

[Chorus: Ella Henderson]
I used to think I couldn't be without you, be without you
Now that you're gone, I feel happy as hell
Weight off of me
I can breathe without you, breathe without you
Now that you're gone, I feel lighter, mm-mm
I used to think I couldn't be without you, be without you
Now you're gone, I feel happy as hell
Weight off of me
I can breathe without you, breathe without you
Now that you're gone, I feel lighter

[Outro: Ella Henderson & KSI]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ella Henderson
Mm-mm, yeah, yeah
Ya boy KSI
Mm-mm, ayy
Nathan Dawe, yeah
Now that you're gone I feel lighter
Yeah
