Breathe

Well I do believe I've waited here
Well I've wait here long enough
Why don't you just tell me what you've brought me here for

I've wasted all my precious time
And still your mouth is shut
I don't understand these games you play, I'm not playing them anymore

I've been holding my breath so long that I'm not even sure I'm still alive
I've given you every benefit and still you sit and engineer another lie

No I don't believe there's any way
There's no reason to stay
I've been had and I've had enough of it

I'm not holding my breath, why don't you go ahead and give it a try yourself
I'm not washing away your sins, I can't even possibly begin to comprehend your filth

I'm just a simple man you see, or at least I try to be
But maybe I got lost somewhere down the road
Oh, please, please just save
Save me

No, I don't believe it's over yet
I'm all covered in sweat
Did you say that you loved me, say again I didn't hear

I'll keep holding my breath until you tell me what it is you want to hear
So they say you'll be my death, but I'm young in love and I don't hear
And I don't care

Won't you let me breathe?
(Breathe for me)
