David William Breidenthal Poet Lyric

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
