Give Me a Second To Breathe Part 1

Verse 1: Nothing's in my way today I'm finally getting my way Glitter sprays in the air We are on the bridge of without-a-care, No longer in despair You fed me vibrant love, my starlit sky above You healed my scars and sent my fears all the way to Mars Trust falls did me no good because you let me fall away into the abyss... But I climbed back up the rope of hope All bad memories turn to rust and then, reduce to dust...they won't be missed, they were filled with hopelessness You are forgiven and forgotten, I won't mope Pre-chorus: Give me a second to breathe...feeling this tension, this hesitation Give me a second to breathe...feeling this tension, this hesitation Give me a second to breathe and feel a pleasant sensation Drench me with your waterfall of wonderfulness You refuse to do so and you douse me in dismay and I'm left in my solitary wilderness Chorus: Give me a second to breathe...feeling this tension, this hesitation I need to breathe in happiness and breathe out sadness I'm dealing with a fistful of frustration that brings hardly any satisfaction I need to breathe in gladness and breathe out distress...that threw into a misery mess I don't care if I have the face my fears everyday I do care for you, if only you'd wipe away my dismay Give me a second to breathe in ease I'll just do whatever I please while you act like a tease Verse 2: You walked away You vanished suddenly I lost the race today Slowly, recharging my bravery I didn't mean to start a riot Compared to you, I'm nothing special You were the warrior that was fought While you're on your journey, I'll be standing tall Baby, why would I leave you to rot? Pound to the rhythm of my heart Pound to the rhythm Pound to the rhythm of my heart Pre-chorus: Give me a second to breathe...feeling this tension, this hesitation Give me a second to breathe...feeling this tension, this hesitation Give me a second to breathe and feel a pleasant sensation Drench me with your waterfall of wonderfulness You refuse to do so and you douse me in dismay and I'm left in my solitary wilderness Chorus: Give me a second to breathe...feeling this tension, this hesitation I need to breathe in happiness and breathe out sadness I'm dealing with a fistful of frustration that brings hardly any satisfaction I need to breathe in gladness and breathe out distress...that threw into a misery mess I don't care if I have the face my fears everyday I do care for you, if only you'd wipe away my dismay Give me a second to breathe in ease I'll just do whatever I please while you act like a tease Bridge 1: Shadows of you keep following me, stalking me down the road where I tread Shadows of you crumbled down the bridge that held us high in the air...the clouds were above my once positive and peaceful head Now, I'm left with the abandoned feeling of dread and you're still puffing up like fresh bread I'm afraid of losing you over the fact that you've changed and I making up my mind to be with someone else instead Pre-chorus: Give me a second to breathe...feeling this tension, this hesitation Give me a second to breathe...feeling this tension, this hesitation Give me a second to breathe and feel a pleasant sensation Drench me with your waterfall of wonderfulness You refuse to do so and you douse me in dismay and I'm left in my solitary wilderness Chorus: Give me a second to breathe...feeling this tension, this hesitation I need to breathe in happiness and breathe out sadness I'm dealing with a fistful of frustration that brings hardly any satisfaction I need to breathe in gladness and breathe out distress...that threw into a misery mess I don't care if I have the face my fears everyday I do care for you, if only you'd wipe away my dismay Give me a second to breathe in ease I'll just do whatever I please while you act like a tease Verse 3: Don't you feel joy in your heart still? Why do I feel dead inside? Why aren't you abiding by my side? Are you waiting to fulfill your thrill? Where can I hide from the truth of your detested pride? You have lied to me and that's hard to forgive and forget You have waved goodbye at me and that's heartbreaking to see as I sink in regret Pre-chorus: Give me a second to breathe...feeling this tension, this hesitation Give me a second to breathe...feeling this tension, this hesitation Give me a second to breathe and feel a pleasant sensation Drench me with your waterfall of wonderfulness You refuse to do so and you douse me in dismay and I'm left in my solitary wilderness Chorus: Give me a second to breathe...feeling this tension, this hesitation I need to breathe in happiness and breathe out sadness I'm dealing with a fistful of frustration that brings hardly any satisfaction I need to breathe in gladness and breathe out distress...that threw into a misery mess I don't care if I have the face my fears everyday I do care for you, if only you'd wipe away my dismay Give me a second to breathe in ease I'll just do whatever I please while you act like a tease Verse 4: You were my paradise that fulfilled my fantasy from on high You and I were in the tip of the iceberg in our ecstatic friendship that I couldn't deny The thunder of resentment strikes me in the middle of nowhere so suddenly Going through a phase of love and hate...all mixed in one glass Hate that I love you and you love to hate me...you talk trash about me in class Watch you fail the test right before your eyes Watch me pass the test with truth in mind that leaves behind lies You invited nothing but trouble in my life of ups and downs Let me breathe in and out Without you, forcing me to swallow doubt Let me walk that recovery route I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about
