"Breathe" lyrics

"Breathe"

Take this bloody war of mine away
I'm lost for words to say
Will they greet me at dawn?
Take these muddy thoughts that are my walls
I'm not ready for the call
That will greet me at dawn

I just take what someone wants
Race when I'm in front
Break what I don't need
It's nice to watch somebody breathe
On me now, I am tired of my own

Now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with the bride to be
And I thank you very much
I am flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me
Because I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Wasting' time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company

Won't you breathe on me now
I am tired of my own

Race me to the horror at the end
I've lost myself again
In the mirror of my past
Let me, let me scratch at my own skin
I'm dying to get in
To the mirror of my past

I just take what someone wants
Race when I'm in front
Break what I don't need
It's nice to watch somebody breathe
On me now, I am tired of my own

Now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with the bride to be
And I thank you very much
I am flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me
And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company

Won't you breathe on me
I am tired of my own
Won't you breathe on me
I am tired of my own

Now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with the bride to be
And I thank you very much
I am flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me
And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company
And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company

Won't you breathe on me now
I am tired of my own
And won't you breathe on me now
I am tired of my own
