"Trouble Breathing" lyrics

"Trouble Breathing"

You told me that you want to die
I said, "I've been there myself more than a few times and I go back every once in a while."
You called me lucky, you called me lucky
You said, "Tonight is a wonderful night to die."
I asked, "How you could tell?" You told me to look at the sky
"Look at all those stars. Look at how goddamn ugly the stars are."

It's one or another between a rope and a bottle
I can tell you're having trouble breathing

'Cause you'll never be OK
(You'll never be OK, you'll never be OK)
You will always be in pain, you'll always feel this way
'Cause things, they never work out right
(They never work out right, they never work out right)
The wrong way, the lonely way, you'll always be in pain

You told me that the daylight burns you
And that the sunrise was enough to kill you
I said, "Maybe you're a vampire."
You said, "It's quite possible. I feel truly dead inside."

It's one or another between a rope and a bottle
I can tell you're having trouble breathing

'Cause you'll never be OK
(You'll never be OK, you'll never be OK)
You will always be in pain, you'll always feel this way
'Cause things, they never work out right
(They never work out right, they never work out right)
The wrong way, the lonely way, you'll always be in pain

Don't forget to let your life rot you inside out
Don't forget to let your life rot you inside out
Don't forget to let your life rot you inside out
