Breathe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take this bloody war of mine away
I'm lost for words to say
Will they greet me at dawn
Take these muddy thoughts that are my walls
I'm not ready for the call
That will greet me at dawn
I just take what someone wants
Race when I'm in front
Break what I don’t need
It’s nice to watch somebody breathe
On me now, I am tired of my own

[Chorus]
Yeah now come sit next to me
I’m not sleeping with the bride to be
And I thank you very much
I am flattered by the touch
When you say that you’re in love me
Because I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I’m happy for the company

[Interlude]
Won’t you breathe on me now
I am tired of my own
[Verse 2]
Race me to the horror at the end
I've lost myself again
In the mirror of my past
Let me, let me scratch at my own skin
I'm dying to get in
To the mirror of my past
I just take what someone wants
Race when I’m in front
Break what I don’t need
It’s nice to watch somebody breathe
On me now, I am tired of my own

[Chorus]

[Interlude x2]

[Chorus]

[Interlude x2]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
