​How To Breathe Lyrics

[Intro]
Burn all my memories to a disc and I'll watch them back all night
All the things I would give just to be a lil' kid one more time

[Chorus]
Holy fuck, I'm growing up I don't like it here
Getting through the rest of school, wanting to disappear
And I don't know what's 'round the corner but it's getting near
When will I learn I'll never be ready to face my fears
And I'll say that I'm tired but that means so many things
And I don't like to complain 'cause I got all that I need
Monday morning in the rain, I'm always feeling so weak
It's been sixteen goddamn years and I don't know how to breathe

[Bridge]
And I don't know how to breathe
I don't know how to breathe

[Verse]
At the end of the day, I need to get out of this place
I don't know how but I always get in everyone's way
Everything's just the same, I don't know what to do with myself
And that's why I need to leave, I need to get away
This place just not my scene, I don't fit in any way
Don't try give me a reason to stay
Don't try give me a reason to stay
I don't know how to breathe, oh
[Chorus]
Holy fuck, I'm growing up I don't like it here
Getting through the rest of school, wanting to disappear
And I don't know what's 'round the corner but it's getting near
When will I learn I'll never be ready to face my fears
And I'll say that I'm tired but that means so many things
And I don't like to complain 'cause I got all that I need
Monday morning in the rain, I'm always feeling so weak
It's been sixteen goddamn years and I don't know how to breathe

[Outro]
I'm growing up I don't like it here
Getting through the rest of school, wanting to disappear
And I don't know what's 'round the corner but it's getting near
When will I learn I'll never be ready to face my fears
I don't know how to breathe, I don't know how to breathe

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]
