Sometimes you stop to just take a breath   You breathe in the air and you get upset   You don't need to change, you just think you need   A little time alone and away from me   And I'm not the only thing in the world that's in your way   And I know it's hard sometimes   You misunderstand all those things I say      And I don't need anymore, anything to control me   I've thrown my addictions aside again   And I don't need anymore, anything to provoke me   And wonder why I try again   I think that maybe this way that I feel a side effect   From trying to balance my soul, instead I keep dividing it   And hiding it from people who wanna provoke my bad side   And keep it all from bubbling over into a landslide   I'm medicated just hoping that it'll fly by   But sometimes I need to take a breath and I'll be alright   Up all night because all of this is getting to me   I know you probably want to hit me but breathe with me      Sometimes you stop just to take a breath   You breathe in the air and you get upset   You don't want to change, you just think you need   A little time alone and away from me   And I'm not the only thing in the world that's in your way   And I know it's hard sometimes   You misunderstand all those things I say      I sit so hallowed open while others level off at any cost   I've been depraved of things   That people think are such an awful loss   And I lost the race and picked up the pace   My timing's off, I'm well aware   And I can't believe I say those things I say as if I just don't care      Sometimes you stop just to take a breath   You breathe in the air and you get upset   You don't want to change, you just think you need   A little time alone and away from me   And I'm not the only thing in the world that's in your way   And I know it's hard sometimes   You misunderstand all those things I say      And I don't want anymore, all the greed is controlling   The hunger never seems to end   And I don't try anymore, so afraid of devoting   And then I die inside again   I think that maybe this way that I feels a side effect   From trying to balance my soul, well I keep dividing it   I try to get back up when I slip on banana peels   Situations develop out the mist of air it kind of feels   Like breathing in exhaust fumes while exhaling the hate   Os so many day gone days gone bad it all seems to fade   And dilute and pollute and contaminate the breathing air   I'm taking breaths in moderation as if I just don't care      Sometimes you stop just to take a breath   You breathe in the air and you get upset   You don't want to change, you just think you need   A little time alone and away from me   And I'm not the only thing in the world that's in your way   And I know it's hard sometimes   You misunderstand all those things I say      Breathe with me as if I just don't care   Would you breathe with me, as if I just don't care   Breathe with me as if I just don't care   Would you breathe with me, as if I just don't care   Breathe with me as if I just don't care   Would you breathe with me, as if I just don't care
