Simpson, Charlie - Parachutes Lyrics






I don't need a parachute
You don't need to ask if I'm okay
I can look after myself
We've been walking for hours now
My feet are starting to itch
Blisters crack all over my skin
And my shoes don't even fit.

I'm so sorry for the pain,
sorry for the aches,
sorry for the moods I'm swinging.
But I don't need your hand,
I don't need your heart,
I don't need a parachute.

I have tried to carry you
As far as I could go but I'm not strong
Enough to do this on my own
I pack my bags and leave this town
Cause I'm not welcome back here any more
Upon these shores.

I'm so sorry for the pain,
sorry for the aches,
sorry for the moods I'm swinging.
But I don't need your hand,
I don't need your heart,
I don't need a parachute.

I'm so sorry for the greed,
sorry for the hate,
sorry for the mess I left you
But I don't want it back
I don't need it back
I don't need a parachute.

Well may the love, that we share, come alive tonight,
yeah may the love, that we share, come alive tonight.

I'm so sorry for the pain,
sorry for the aches,
sorry for the moods I'm swinging.
But I don't need your hand,
I don't need your heart,
I don't need a parachute.

I'm so sorry for the greed,
sorry for the hate,
sorry for the mess I left you
But I don't want it back
I don't need it back
I don't need a parachute.

    MY BIGGEST LOVE CAN I MARRY THIS SONG PLEASE ?

  12. D.... M....

    Regardless of Charlie’s decision to leave busted I have followed Charlie’s matts and James careers closely and I can honestly say I love all of there music and each individual is so talented. I am so happy that Charlie rejoined busted and have seen them on Both tours since they reformed. I hope they don’t split again but regardless of what happens I will always enjoy Charlie’s music I definitely prefer his solo material to fightstar but fightstar are still an epic band. I’d like busted to work with gunship on a song though so Matt and James could work with dan and Alex

  13. A.... L....

    The start of this song reminds me so much of another song but I can't put my finger on it!

  14. A.... C....

    Did a cover of this on my channel!

  15. L.... C....

    This song makes me feel in a way that a few years ago, when I was leaving school, I was feeling quite frustrated and I was 17 at the time, and I was wanting to go, and then I left without saying goodbye to a lot of my friends, and then I made contact with a lot of them again, after a few years of not talking to a lot of them, and then I made some more new friends as I went along in my life and all that, and I felt that I was better off on my own without everyone else, but then I realised that I need those friends as well as I need the new friends that I have now too, and I have wanted to move on, but as it was a part of growing up, this song made me feel bad for all of that, but I am happy that things are getting better and found a happier place on my own, and still go back to those friends too.

  16. J.... M....

    Such a sad video

  17. W.... ....

    i can listen this all day

  18. W.... ....

    that made me fell a bit sad and I think a lot about my life... your music is grab my heart and hold it strong

    W.... ....

    What a beautiful comment x

  19. S.... F....

    I made a huge mistake telling my gf I'm having mixed feelings about her. I thought you were supposed to be honest with each other. I did really hurt her, I still love her and everything buy now things are different. They feel different. She told me it was ok and shes ok and it happens, but, it still doesn't feel right. I feel so guilty, like she shouldn't forgive or that she secretly doesn't. idk.. idk where this is gonna go, I guess I'll keep hanging on and loving her the same. Lets see if she feels different down the road..

    S.... F....

    Sam Fisher hi Sam... How did things end up with your girlfriend? Are u's still together?

  20. S.... R....

    fantastic video and song.i could listen to this all day

  21. 1.... ....

  22. D.... T....

    D.... T....

  23. m.... ....

    -Sighs-
    On nights as cold as this.
    Sometimes I wonder what my ex is doing these days.
    Or even if he's okay.

    I'm sure he's fine. Where ever he is.
    At least that's what i like to tell myself sometimes.

    m.... ....

    +millardsglory yeah I'm okay, cheers.

  24. N.... ....

    his voice ♥

  25. A.... R....

    I don't need your heart, I don't need a parachute :(

  26. s.... k....

    great song and video!

  27. J.... T....

    Amazing!

  28. B.... C....

    James arthur's cover brought me here

  29. M.... ....

    This video is sick. Love it

  30. M.... ....

    What a true talent Charlie Simpson is.

  31. T.... R....

    I've done a cover of this. Please feel free to check it out on my channel :) x

  32. �.... ....

    This song is beautiful and music video! I like it

  33. K.... N....

    Моя любимая песня!
    Но! Мертвые парашютисты не реалистичные!

  34. b.... ....

    Fascinating music video. I really like how you did it, very thought provoking.

  35. L.... E....

    Been listening to this song all day today, it's amazing!

  36. M.... f....

    Awesome video, awesome song!!! Love your music Charlie Xxx ;)

  37. J.... H....

    Good job man

  38. E.... N....

    you choose the right decision charlie, i don't like that McCrap band

    E.... N....

    L O L Busted are back now. ;)

  39. S.... N....

    To all the bustedc busted fans here..... charlie used busted to get his name big so he could go on and create projects he actually wanted to do he is a serious and sucessful musician now who will never go back to his past.

    S.... N....

    Urrrrm i call bullshit

    S.... N....

    James and Matt are doing really well atm anyway ha 😂😂

    S.... N....

    Well... How wrong were you?

    S.... N....

    *A Year Later, Busted Reunion*

  40. i.... g....

    People stop talking about mcbusted, Charlie is doing great on his own yeah I miss busted but this is his decision let him live his life

  41. E.... s....

    Charlie! y u no join mcbusted!?!

    E.... s....

    Becuase they are shit.

    E.... s....

    Charlie was the one who made the decision to leave Busted, i don't think he's going to go back just because they've joined McFly. 

    E.... s....

    yeah i guess but still. it would have made it complete. i miss busted =/

  42. a.... c....

    I used to listen to this song constantly a couple of years ago! I completely forgot about it until someone mentioned charlie

  43. E.... ....

    I adore this song!

  44. H.... C....

    There isn't even love here anymore is there ?

  45. v.... y....

    I think his new style choice in music is really good. Seen him when I seen deaf havana and I was pleasantly surprised.

  46. L.... H....

    Cool song. His voice reminds me a little of Garry Bean - Northern Town.

  47. m.... ....

    A pretty decent song. Charlie definetly has his moments, but I cant say I'm on with him on this whole solo career thing. It just doesnt feel different from any other scruffy looking guy in a plaid shirt picking up a guitar and singing about uncohesive things.

  48. M.... W....

    Unreal how unrated this song is..

  49. 9.... ....

    not illuminati so it's only 690 000 views. so sad

  50. M.... ....

    Oh ok. Didn't know that.
    His cover isn't too bad actually but obviously i'll always prefer Charlie. :)

  51. M.... ....

    When was that even a contest?

  52. V.... V....

    awesome :)

  53. D.... V....

    Loved you LIVE at the acoustic basement! You and Nick were AMAZING! So far...our favorite album from the warped tour!

  54. D.... C....

    Am I the only one who thinks that Charlie has some serious esplaining to do with that bridge?

  55. P.... B....

    i think he should lighten up and do more happier videos but he has an amazing voice :)xx

  56. I.... H....

    Love this song so much!

  57. s.... ....

    So underrated; this song is amazing

  58. Q.... ....

    Video by Michel Gondry?

  59. x.... ....

    Wow i love this video! Charlie is so talented in everything he does. :)

  60. c.... a....

    Always liked Charlie but James Arthur's version is so much better

  61. J.... D....

    awesome song, talented writer but James Arthurs version is a million times better

  62. I.... ....

    Everything Charlie Simpson does is epic, whether it be Busted, Fightstar or his solo stuff. What's awesome about each of them is that they all have their own individual sound and to me each one of them is on par with each other and offers something different. Busted with its nostalgia, Fightstar with awesome sound and this solo material which is a lot more relaxed, but all of it awesome.

  63. A.... A....

    Busted was good... but Charlie is alot much better on his own, But Busted and Fightstar helped Charlie Find his style

  64. J.... M....

    DON'T STATE THE OBVIOUS

  65. J.... F....

    How can you say that :o I miss busted, they was so good. Childhood memories

  66. A.... S....

    James Arthur's cover of this is class

  67. s.... ....

    His reaction would probably be the same as every other time at every other gig when some dobber does this.

  68. G.... B....

    Busted must Reunite in 2013

  69. R.... ....

    Hey, im an 18yr old Youtuber from the UK, i recenlty became a Youtube Partner so im trying to build my views and subscribers higher, if you would like to check my content out, great!, if not i wouldnt mind either, Thanks!! :):)

  70. B.... ....

    This video is brilliant!

  71. C.... G....

    The 'walking in a straight line' music video concept with boards/frames has been done before (kinda looks like Bernard Fanning: "Wish you well"), but the different sides of life happy/sad situation, that's cool.
    Awesome song. Awesome video.

  72. B.... ....

    If i see him live at Warped this year im going to be in the crowd and scream "SING SOMETHING FROM BUSTED" and see his reaction.... or just walk away and pretend like i didn't say anthing

  73. S.... L....

    Please have a look at my cover of Parachutes by Charlie Simpson!

  74. G.... D....

    I am so happy busted died and let this genuine talent free. Busted would not be making records like this

  75. M.... G....

    what a fantastic video

  76. s.... m....

    Charlie Simpson of 10000000000 times better than james rather!

  77. A.... M....

    You have an amazing voice. <3

  78. H.... T....

    Sorry. But get back with Busted

  79. T.... B....

    top 3 british artist in my oppinion

  80. S.... B....

    Was this song on fifa12 or is itjust me ?

  81. A.... ....

    Charlie Simpson is better than James Arthur!

  82. C.... B....

    Is it just me or does anyone else think Charlie and James Arthur sound so alike?

  83. D.... E....

    So true.

  84. D.... E....

    Cool way to put it ! I think the same !

  85. S.... ....

    But he's playing it to the sound of a snare.

  86. D.... W....

    Check out my cover of this song on my channel! :)

  87. K.... J....

    him and james arthur dont sound unsimilar

  88. V.... ....

    He's so.. sweet ;--;

  89. c.... ....

    This is how more music videos should be. Obviously not exactly the same, but at least slightly. Expressive. meaningful. Sometimes metaphorical. I really connected with it and that's why I liked it. Cause you can tell it meant something to him. This is what art looks like, people.

  90. l.... h....

    So high...thought I clicked a Homer Simpson song...

  91. M.... A....

    f*ck Busted, the real talent broke free :) nice one Charlie

  92. N.... ....

    This video is brilliant.. such an amazing song too!

  93. F.... B....

    but busted :(

  94. J.... T....

    just to think, this all began with busted:')

  95. P.... ....

    This is awesome. This is awesome. I love your music :D

  96. A.... G....

    genial , Charlie me encanta tus rolas desde que tocabas con fightstar genial de verdad chingon . . . creo que no va a entender esto que escribi jejejejejeje
