Breathe

You left your house early last morning
Dragging your feet with the weight
Like crumbs on the ground crunched under your feet
Some days the pain hardly waits
Looking back, we’d barely know the way the world would shake
Sleep with your eyes closed
Dream without the ghosts
Before everything changed

If you need to breathe
Oh, you just have to say
You’re all torn up inside
Your hope still like a child’s
If you need to breathe
Oh, you just have to say
You’re all torn up inside
You’re’ all torn up, all torn up inside

I was six when I learned the hard way
Trust isn’t always safe
When the officer arrived on the scene
He could see it on my face
So many years passed
I’d barely know, a world that would find ways
To give out hope and rip it away
But our smiles they stayed the same

If you need to breathe
Oh, you just have to say
You’re all torn up inside
Your hope still like a child’s
If you need to breathe
Oh, you just have to say
You’re all torn up inside
You’re’ all torn up, all torn up inside
