Trying to see what you can't see Trying to get a hold of me Trying to be brave But all I hear is what you say Hoping for better days to come I can't leave the past undone Endless fights, sleepless nights I just want to run No this ain't right we can't pay the price Of what's to come You can't tell me what to do I can't be the better you You've gotta let me Breathe For a while You've gotta let me Breathe At least for now Hiding my tears so you can't see The weakest part of me I just want you to be proud But not if I'm beaten down By these endless fights and sleepless nights When I just want to run No this ain't right we can't pay the price Of what's to come You can't tell me what to do I can't be the better you You've gotta let me Breathe For a while You've gotta let me Breathe At least for now Oh, oh oh oh I'm not asking for your tone So please just hear my song You're the world to me So please just breathe with me
