Breathe Better Lyrics

I carry more than I could ever take

Too many roles I don't know how to play

Sister, daughter, girlfriend

A shoulder to cry on

Why do my friends think I'm a therapist

I hate to break it but when you say I'm an optimist

Trusting, caring, honest

Well maybe I'm not, any of that

Oh, thoughts are getting loud

Want to scream them out

Oh, wish that I knew how

I wear my face like makeup

With every tear it washes off

And little by little, I get it together

Hoping that one day I'll breathe better

Still lonely love don't help much

Just slows my heart beat enough

Till little by little, I get it together

Hoping that one day I'll breathe better

My mother calls to ask if I'm okay

And I wish that I was brave enough to say

I want you to hold me till I fall I sleep

It's all that I need

Oh, I can't find my breath

Midnights in my head

Oh, sleep is for the dead

I wear my face like makeup

With every tear it washes off

And little by little, I get it together

Hoping that one day I'll breathe better

Still lonely love don't help much

Just slows my heart beat enough

Till little by little, I get it together

Hoping that one day I'll breathe better

And I'm trying to be what everybody sees

On the outside, on the inside I'm broken

And I wish that I could find a little peace

But for the moment

I wear my face like makeup

With every tear it washes off

And little by little, I get it together

Hoping that one day I'll breathe better

Still lonely love don't help much

Just slows my heart beat enough

Till little by little, I get it together

Hoping that one day I'll breathe better

I know that I'll breathe better

I know that I'll breathe better

Till little by little, I get it together

Hoping that one day I'll breathe better
