Lyrics
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.
Harness your heart, and be still now
Quiet that mind that will wander
All sorts of dark alleys
Tragedy strikes your self esteem
Constantly waiting for an ending
To all of this
She opens her eyes
Suddenly she cries
Can we help her?
Can we help her?
And she replies
You know, I fake it oh so well
That God himself can't tell
What I mean and why my words are less than parallel
With my feet, you ask me what I need
And all I really need
Is to breathe
Oh, oh, ah, ah
People, they seem so interested
Only a few get invested
With all the aches and pains
Doctor, oh, doctor
Please help her
I fear she may not be breathing
Blue lips, and doe eyes
That's her disguise
You know, I fake it oh so well
That God himself can't tell
What I mean and why my words are less than parallel
With my feet, you ask me what I need
And all I really need
Is to breathe
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Give me some space to breathe (oh, oh, oh, oh)
I need a little room to breathe (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Give me some space to breathe
All I need is a little room to breathe (ooh, ooh)
I fake it oh so well
That God can't tell
You know, I fake it oh so well
That God himself can't tell
What I mean and why my words are less than parallel
With my feet, you ask me what I need
And all I really need
Is to breathe
Let me breathe
