To breathe or not to breathe?
Over whelmed by all this,
The desire to catch a breath and see
See the light of the shining, burning sun.
To feel the breeze and the cool wind of the night.
I am trapped in the dark, in your too warm arms.
Let me breathe I whisper, let me breathe I cry,
A cry for help,
A cry for forgiveness,
A cry to be let go.
It is time, time to leave the nest,
Time to live and grow.
To understand and learn.
I gotta go,
I gotta breathe...
It is time for me to breathe.

I can already feel it
The pull,
The drag.
We're heading back to how we used to be,
There's no good left in us,
There's no love left between us.
I want out.
I want to run.
I want to hide.
I want to live the rest of my life.
Trust is lost,
Love is forgotten,
Tears are dried.
There's nothing else,
There's nothing more.
I'm walking out,
I can't do this anymore,
You're not who you used to be,
You've lied to me,
There's nothing left,
Goodbye,
Good luck.

What is life without the one you love
I'd crawl on the ground for you,
Fight the world for you,
Argue with the captain and try to sail with you.
I'll step out of line with you,
Live on land for you,
I'd do anything for you.
Don't be afraid of me,
Listen to your heart,
Stop those whispers around you.
I'll change my life for you,
I'd crawl on glass for you,
With pleasure I'll close my eyes and do anything for you.
Anything at all,
I'd do anything at all for you.
I'll fight for your heart,
I'll fight to be with you,
I'd do anything for you.

I can breathe again
The emptiness is bearable.
There's no pain,
There's no hurt.
I can stop making excuses
For you and me Both.
It is time to breathe again.
I wasn't ready then and I'm still not ready now
But I want him.
What can I do?
What can I say?
I can only breathe again.
Time will only tell,
I just have to let it take its course,
Let it tick-tock.
Matching the rhythm of my heart
To the hands of time.
I want to love,
But first I need to breathe again.

I've seen you laugh,
I've seen you cry
Those shed tears meant everything about your life,
Your fears
Your loss
Your fun
It meant all of your love to me.
I miss those arms who held me at nights,
Your smell on my clothes when we hugged.
I remember those eyes who would look at me,
With passion
With love
You would see right through me,
Knowing the right and wrong.
I miss you.
I. Miss. You.

Close the eyes of the death and it’ll be as if they were sleeping
Numb the pain and it’ll be as if you were alive
What is life without that and some danger, some fun?
Life is wisdom,
Age is just a number,
Regrets… never regret.
Make the mistakes and learn from them all, because without them,
You would not be where you are now.
Understand that love, is not just a word,
It’s a feeling that does not come easy,
Nor cheap.
It is pain,
Laughter,
Happiness and hurt, all in one.
It’s a great price to pay to gain it,
To keep it,
To lose it.
Take the risk and love, because if you can’t, you’re not alive.
But if you can, live with the consequences that it may bring.
Somebody once told me,
“Those who can’t say the words but can express it, are the ones who love the most.”
I could be one, but you will never know.

Have I always been a fool?
To believe in the happily ever after and true love,
I have been lied to, or maybe I've lied too.
I cannot pretend anymore, the sweetness is no longer there,
My eyes no longer see what they used to see.
But I cannot feel sorry,
I cannot lie anymore,
I cannot believe.
I cannot.
Was I the fool to think that it would all be great?
To believe that things would change, to try to accept.
My hands no longer seek,
My eyes no longer see who you wanted to be.
I cannot live in the lie,
In a pretended life.
I've been fooled all this time,
To believe your words and trust your sayings,
I give up.
I was the fool.
