Harness your heart and be still now
Quiet that mind that will wander all sorts of dark alleys
Tragedy strikes your self-esteem
Constantly waiting for an ending to all of this
She opens her eyes, suddenly she cries
Can we help her?
And she replies
You know, I fake it, oh, so well
That God himself can't tell
What I mean and why my words are
Less than parallel with my feet
You ask me what I need
And all I really need, is to breathe, oh, ah-ah
People, they seem so interested only a few get invested
With all the aches and pains
Doctor, oh, doctor, please help her
I fear she may not be breathing
Blue lips and doe eyes that's her disguise
You know, I fake it, oh, so well
That God himself can't tell
What I mean and why my words are
Less than parallel with my feet
You ask me what I need
And all I really need, is to breathe
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Give me some space to breathe
I need a little room to breathe
Give me some space to breathe
All I need is a little room to breathe
I fake it, oh, so well
That God can't tell
You know, I fake it, oh, so well
That God himself can't tell
What I mean and why my words are
Less than parallel with my feet
You ask me what I need
And all I really need, is to breathe
Let me breathe
