"Breathe" lyrics

How could you mean it when you never got something to say
All you do is talk what you're trying to prove anyway
How am I supposed to take it serious, so much more aware than the rest of us
How could you mean it when you know you got nothing to say

Haven't you heard
It's only a dream
And now that you know
You wish you could have put it all behind you

I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
Don't tell me how to breathe
We're part of a disease
There's nothing you can keep from dying
I can't tell you why
Save your tears, don't cry for me
And try to breathe

How come it's all about you when somebody dies
All you gotta give is thoughts and prayers and everything's alright
When did tragedy become miraculous
You watch it fall apart forget the rest of us
How come it's all about you when somebody dies

I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
Don't tell me how to breathe
We're part of a disease
There's nothing you can keep from dying
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
Don't tell me how to breathe
We're part of a disease
There's nothing you can keep from dying
We're part of the machine
And you will never save your tears
Don't cry for me

Haven't you heard
It's only a dream
And now that you know
You wish you could have put it all behind you

I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
Don't tell me how to breathe
We're part of a disease
There's nothing you can keep from dying
I can't tell you why
I can't tell you why
Don't tell me how to breathe
We're part of a disease
There's nothing you can keep from dying
I can't tell you why
Save your tears, don't cry for me
And try to breathe
Don't cry for me
And try to breathe
Try to breathe
Try to breathe
Try to breathe

Don't cry
Don't cry for me
And try to breathe
