Give Me a Second To Breathe Part 2

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 Give me a second to breathe...feeling this tension, this hesitation Give me a second to breathe, so I can keep up with my eager heart, beating with anticipation Give me a second to breathe and feel a pleasant sensation 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 5: My luck runs low and I can't remember the last time I was happy You sucked the positivity out of my mind and you scorched me with foolish passions so temporary You were sweet as sugar, yet bitter like wormwood honestly Endless night has fallen upon us Wishing we're in the same bus You lassoed me with your lament that night when you cried silently Instead of breathing in and out, dip your head in the waters of wisdom and hold your breath...you'll see... Wonders beyond what your sight can capture I know our futures are a mighty blur... 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 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 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 2: Just let nature nourish our saturated souls that sponge in pain Right from the start, you were the golden grain that thirsts for healing rain Don't worry - God will take great care of you Don't fret or sweat it - I am going to remain standing with you, no matter what we go through Give me a second to breathe...for I'm getting over my love flu that paints my spirits blue, not yellow You fixed me like you were the mechanic, repairing a wreck of a car and you made me shine aglow You told me that I am handsome all the time I looked in the mirror and told myself I looked hideous...somehow, you let my confidence grow Low self-esteem is thrown out the bathroom window You're unpredictable like the wicked wind...not going with the flow, wondering where you blow, you know? 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 6: I want you to know that I need space for now, so leave me alone Give me some time to think things through clearly...give me a reason to live Give me a minute to breathe until I can't breathe anymore...on my own...you didn't answer your phone Let me see this dilemma in the right perspective - let me take pace in this race of who to forgive I will forgive you for leaving me behind Felt jaded many times, so I don't mind I miss you, breathing here with me I miss you, holding me tight, never setting me free That's the way it should've been... I must move on and repent of holding on to sin My heart deep within has cradled faith close, But it's paper-thin, so I, the hopeless boy, get hunted down by lows that haunt me with past humiliating woes Defeated and dejected Give me a second to breathe in hope and breathe out dread
