Lyrics

I Can't Breathe

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.

I'm scared to sleep, I scared to dream

I'm scared to wake up in case I scream

I'm scared to whisper one word.

That's all it needs

I hear it breathe, I hear it sigh

I hear it laughing when something dies

I hear it calling

But I'm too scared to move

I'm so scared

I can't breathe

I'm so scared

I just can't breathe

I'm scared to look, I'm scared to see

I'm scared of mirrors in case it's me.

I'm scared of memories

But now thats all I have

So I can't leave and no-one comes

So no-one noticed that I've come undone.

I'd hide in shadows

But the shadows talk to me.

I'm so scared

I can't breathe

I'm so scared

I just can't breathe
