Lyrics
Exhale
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And now this unfamiliar weight is on my chest.
I distress, I'm distressed.
My eyes are clouding now, but I see straight.
This can't wait, it can't wait again.
This may not be the hand that we had hoped for -
but it is the hand that we were dealt.
Oh, it's the hand that we were dealt.
Your hands, your hands
are they shaking now?
Are you taking in
without breathing out?
My steps falter with this labored but I'll exhale this oath to my death -
to my death.
And my words choke now in my throat
but with force I will say "I'm sorry, I know that I promised."
This may not be the hand that we had hoped for -
but it is the hand that we were dealt.
Oh, it's the hand that we were dealt.
Your hands, your hands
are they shaking now?
Are you taking in
without breathing out?
And now this unfamiliar weight is on my chest.
I digress, I digress.
I am sorry that I have to go
but I'm not gone just yet, not just yet.
And my words choke now in my throat
but with force I will say,
with force I will say "I'm sorry, I know that I promised."
Your hands in my hands,
I won't fail you now.
And my eyes shut and I breathe out.
Your hands, your hands
are they shaking now?
Are you taking in
without breathing out?
Your hands, my hands
are they shaking now?
If my eyes shut will I breathe out?
