Slow down
You only hear what you want to hear
So hold out
You won't feel what you want to feel, whoa
You can't hide
So sick fighting on the inside
Sleepless nights
You find yourself all alone screaming out these lines
Cut me open
Rip out this heart inside of me
'Cause I'm still broken
'Cause I need you now, I need to breathe
Whoa, rip out this heart inside of me
Whoa, 'cause I need you now, I need to breathe
(Cause I need you now, I need to breathe)
Let me out
What is this life I'm living
I'm strung out
It's another page we're turning
It's my life
I'm so sick, still fighting on the inside
My disguise
I can't act like everything's alright
Cut me open
Rip out this heart inside of me
'Cause I'm still broken
'Cause I need you now, I need to breathe
Whoa, rip out this heart inside of me
Whoa, 'cause I need you now, I need to breathe
Rescue me
Without you I'll never find my way
My lungs are starting to scream
Breathe in me
Without you I'm suffocating
Will be the air that I need
I need, 'cause you're all the need
Cut me open
Rip out this heart inside of me
'Cause I'm still broken
'Cause I need you now, I need to breathe
Whoa, rip out this heart inside of me
Whoa, 'cause I need you now, I need to breathe
(Cause I need you now, I need to breathe)
(I need to breathe)
