Taking hold, breaking in  The pressures on me to circulate  Memorized and taken in  I'll take it slow, so it resonates.  It's time to rest, not to sleep away  My thoughts alone, try to complicate  I'll do my best, to seek you out  And be myself and not impersonate    Chorus:  I tried so hard to not walk away  And when things don't go my way  I still carry on and on just the same  I've always been strong   but cant make this happen  'Cause I need to breathe  I want to breathe you in  The fear of becoming,  I'm so tired of running  'Cause I need to breathe  I want to breathe you in  I want to breathe you in    I'm going in, so cover me  Your compass will, help me turn the page  The laughingstock, I'll never be  Because I wont let them take me    [Chorus]    Took awhile to see, all the love that's around me  Through the highs and lows, there's' a truth that I know  And it's you    Yeahh, and I  I've always been strong  But cant make this happen  'Cause I need to breathe   I want to breathe you in  The fear of becoming  I'm so tired of runnin  'Cause I need to breathe  I want to breathe you in[x4]  I want to, I want to  I want to breathe you in[x2]  I want to breathe   I want to, I want to  I want to breathe(I want to, I want to)  I want to breathe you in[x2]  I want to breathe    these lyrics are submitted by Jes  these lyrics are last corrected by Swayze
