[Verse 1]
Hands on the sink
Staring at my face
Chest going tight
Like I ran out of air
I try to stand up
My legs turn thin
The room gets small
And it starts again
I count to four
But it slips away
My throat goes dry
I can’t say your name
I reach for the phone
It falls through my hands
I’m right here, right now
But I don’t stand a chance
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me you see me
Tell me I’m here
My heart’s on fire
My head’s too near the edge
I need a voice now
I need a hand
I’m still in this body
But I don’t understand
[Chorus]
Breathe, breathe
I can’t breathe
Hear me now
I’m down on my knees
Breathe, breathe
Don’t let me fade
I’m screaming loud
But no one stays
Breathe, breathe (breathe)
Stay with me
I’m begging you
Please, please, please
[Verse 2]
Light in the hallway
Bends in my eyes
Sweat on my neck
And I don’t know why
My ribs are a cage
My mind is a storm
I hold my breath
Till the fear feels warm
I call your name
Into empty space
No answer back
Just my own damn face
If I could split
These walls apart
I’d drag myself
Back to the start
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me you see me
Tell me I’m here
My heart’s on fire
My head’s too near the edge
I need a voice now
I need a hand
I’m still in this body
But I don’t understand
[Chorus]
Breathe, breathe
I can’t breathe
Hear me now
I’m down on my knees
Breathe, breathe
Don’t let me fade
I’m screaming loud
But no one stays
Breathe, breathe (breathe)
Stay with me
I’m begging you
Please, please, please
[Bridge]
If you hear this
Come close, come close
I’m losing the floor
I’m losing control
One small touch
One real sound
Pull me up
Don’t let me drown
[Final Chorus]
Breathe, breathe
I can’t breathe
Hear me now
I’m down on my knees
Breathe, breathe
Don’t let me fade
I’m screaming loud
But no one stays
Breathe, breathe (breathe)
Stay with me
I’m begging you
Please, please, please
