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 gotta calm down
I've been awake for far too long
My eyes look torn, they were so strong
I wore the crown, I wrote the song
Now it's fading
My heart was open
Like a window to a summer breeze
I breathe (breathe) your love
I filled my lungs and veins
I breathe (breathe) your love
Until I felt the pain
And like rain (breathe)
It slipped away
I try to find out
What's love, what's really all about?
Behind the curtain waits the sky?
It's rare I feel, enough to cry
I'm drying up inside
My life was open
Oh, like a window to the summer breeze
I breathe (breathe, I breathe) your love
I filled my lungs and veins
I breathe (breathe, I breathe) your love
Until I met the pain
And like rain (breathe)
It slipped away
Just like a little rain
I breathe (I breathe) your love
And nothing stayed the same
Yes, I breathe (breathe, I breathe) your love
And filled my heart in vain
'Cause like rain (breathe)
It slipped away, oh, yeah
Just like rain
It's slipped away (breathe)
I breathe your love
And nothing stayed the same (breathe)
Oh, I breathe your love
Just like a little rain (breathe)
It's slipped away
Oh, I breathe
Oh
And nothing stayed
