Breathe (29 Years)

So I stole the music and stuff from Anna Nalick’s song “Breathe (2 AM)” and kinda redid the lyrics a bit. Hope no die-hard Anna Nalick fans get pissed or anything. Maybe if I can figure out the video camera I’ll stick it on YouTube or something.

29 years ago I was only a child
Stubbin’ my toes in life just to figure it out
And I wonder, “Have I learned one thing since then?”

Every corner it seems was another beatdown
I tried so hard to smile but it ended a frown
And I’m not sure how all that shaped things back then

Cause my dreams disappeared like smoke whisps in the air
I spent so much time searching for things that aren’t there
And the chains wrapped around me that weigh on my soul
Make me ask, “Will I ever be whole?”

So I breathe
Just breathe
Oh breathe
Just breathe

18 years spent my time in a bag full of bliss
Happiness evidenced by the scars on my wrists
And I always said, “Everything is just fine.”

Thought I wished for the end, thought I wanted no more
But how wrong I was when I stood there at death’s door
And I don’t know quite for sure why I’m alive

So I cried out for help as I looked at a man
Who was always there waiting to lend me a hand
A hole so deep inside me that nothing could fill
But hope is the hardest to kill

So I breathe
Just breathe
Oh breathe
Just breathe

Six years since I met half number two of my heart
And it seems like forever when we’re apart
And I smile as I hold her tight for a while

Life’s the same always tryin’ to throw more shit my way
Honestly it’s still hard to make it through a day
But I know now, I’m not alone any more

So many things that I will never understand
Like how you could love such an imperfect man
And I hold tight to her to keep warm in the cold
And we see what the future may hold

So I breathe
Just breathe
Oh breathe
Just breathe
