Breathe Better

I carry more than I could ever take Too many roles I don't know how to play Sister, daughter, girlfriend A shoulder to cry on Why do my friends think I'm a therapist I hate to break it but when you say I'm an optimist Trusting, caring, honest Well maybe I'm not, any of that Oh, thoughts are getting loud Want to scream them out Oh, wish that I knew how I wear my face like makeup With every tear it washes off And little by little, I get it together Hoping that one day I'll breathe better Still lonely love don't help much Just slows my heart beat enough Till little by little, I get it together Hoping that one day I'll breathe better My mother calls to ask if I'm okay And I wish that I was brave enough to say I want you to hold me till I fall I sleep It's all that I need Oh, I can't find my breath Midnights in my head Oh, sleep is for the dead I wear my face like makeup With every tear it washes off And little by little, I get it together Hoping that one day I'll breathe better Still lonely love don't help much Just slows my heart beat enough Till little by little, I get it together Hoping that one day I'll breathe better And I'm trying to be what everybody sees On the outside, on the inside I'm broken And I wish that I could find a little peace But for the moment I wear my face like makeup With every tear it washes off And little by little, I get it together Hoping that one day I'll breathe better Still lonely love don't help much Just slows my heart beat enough Till little by little, I get it together Hoping that one day I'll breathe better I know that I'll breathe better I know that I'll breathe better Till little by little, I get it together Hoping that one day I'll breathe better
