"Breathe" lyrics

I used to know better
It was the only way to be
You read my letters
And you bought me jewelry
I learned my lessons
While I slept eternally
You tied my laces
And you bandaged both my knees
I used to know better
It was the only way to be
You read my letters
You should have known I like to tease

I used to know better
Then you taught me how to read
You changed my letters
Then you bought me rosaries
I failed my lessons
And you shook me to my feet
You took my courage
And you took my books to read

I used to know better
It was the only way to be
You changed my letters

You should have known I like to tease
I like to read (I like to read)
I like to read (I like to read)
I like to read (I like to read)

I failed my lessons
And you shook me to my feet
You took my courage
Then you took my books to read
I used to know better
It was the only way to be
You read my letters
You should have known I like to tease
I like to breathe (I like to breathe)
I like to breathe (I like to breathe)
I like to breathe (I like to breathe)
I like to breathe (I like to breathe)
I like to breathe (I like to breathe)
