Harness your heart and be still now

Quiet that mind that will wander

All sorts of dark alleys

Tragedy strikes your self-esteem

Constantly waiting for an ending

To all of this

She opens her eyes, suddenly she cries

Can we help her, can we help her

And she replies

You know, I fake it oh so well

That God himself can't tell

What I mean and why my words

Are less than parallel with my feet

You ask me what I need

And all I really need is to breathe

Ooh, aah

People they seem so interested

Only if you get invested with

All the aches and pains

Doctor, oh doctor please help her

I fear she may not be breathing

Blue lips and doe eyes

That's her disguise

You know, I fake it oh so well

That God himself can't tell

What I mean and why my words

Are less than parallel with my feet

You ask me what I need

And all I really need is to breathe

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Give me some space to breathe

I need a little room to breathe

Give me some space to breathe

All I need is a little room to breathe

I fake it oh so well that God can't tell you

You know, I fake it oh so well

That God himself can't tell

What I mean and why my words

Are less than parallel with my feet

You ask me what I need

And all I really need is to breathe

Let me breathe
