Take A Breath

I waited patiently

Till I figured it out and calmed you down

You saw it differently

You're my shadow now

I'll cast you out into the dark

Stay (Stay)

Awake (Awake)

And pray (Pray) for another way out

You can fake (Fake) anything

But your past (Your past)

Has its hands around your neck

Take a breath if you need it

Hold it in for a minute, can you feel me?

Inside you're so empty

You can try all you want, you won't fill it

Such a waste (You just can't escape)

Separate (You just float away)

Such a waste (I used up all my time)

Suffocate (I really wish you'd suffocate)

I've had this feeling before

It's always around, it drags me down

This time of year

There's a certain smell I can't ignore

Don't give up, not this time

Can't go back again

Can't go back again

(Do you care if I'm alright?)

Is anyone listening?

Take a breath if you need it

Hold it in for a minute, can you feel me?

Inside you're so empty

You can try all you want, you won't fill it

Such a waste (You just can't escape)

Separate (You just float away)

Such a waste (I used up all my time)

Suffocate (I really wish you'd suffocate)

Pull me in, cover me, bury me, walk away

I won't notice

It's so hopeless

Follow me silently off a ledge so we can sleep

So we can sleep

Take a breath if you need it

Take a breath if you need it

Come on, breathe

Take a breath
