Breathe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I watched the sunset alone
For the final time and I stand up
Against the waves where I used to ache

[Verse 2]
I stepped out of the rain
Heart was caged in ice and now it burns
Now, I burn in the summer

[Chorus]
I never trusted anyone
I had no reason to
I'm holding a loaded gun
To everything I knew
I've got a reason to breathe
I've got a reason to breathe

[Verse 3]
Yeah, the nightmares came and went
The night sweats, smoking cigarettes
Wanted to feel love, give me some fucking relief

[Chorus]
I never trusted anyone
I had no reason to
I'm holding a loaded gun
To everything I knew
I've got a reason to breathe
I've got a reason to breathe
[Bridge]
And all the nights spent on my own
Coming home to empty spaces
Curled up by the phone
And my ears were ringing
Now I've found my home
And now I have a reason
Breathe on me 'til the hairs
On my neck stand up

[Chorus]
I never trusted anyone
I had no reason to
I'm holding a loaded gun
To everything I knew
I've got a reason to breathe
I've got a reason to breathe

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
