You make me feel like I can't breathe
When I've lost all that I believe
It's hard to see you here through all my bitter tears
Your empty words are falling on deaf ears
So I whisper quietly to myself
Just breathe
I'm learning to let go of the things I used to know
After everything that I went through with you
And I think you'll come to know
When you have to let me go
Why I whisper softly to myself
Just breathe
I just breathe and clear my mind
Of the hurt you left behind
You could have held me closer
And loved me tenderly
Stopped the madness for a while
Eased my sadness with a smile
You could have said just what you meant
And only said the things you mean
Just breathe
Just breathe
I just breathe and clear my mind
Of the hurt you left behind
You could have held me closer
And loved me tenderly
Stopped the madness for a while
Eased my sadness with a smile
You could have said just what you meant
And only said the things you mean
But it was easy to believe all the things you said to me
But I'm wiser now than I used to be
The love you showed to me
Was never meant to be
So I whisper sadly to myself
Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe
