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
