Breathe again – Sara Bareilles

November 21, 2010

Car is parked,
bags are packed,
but what kind of heart
doesn’t look back
At the comfortable glow
from the porch,
the one I will still call yours?
All those words came undone
and now I’m not the only one
Facing the ghosts
that decide
if the fire inside still burns

All I have, all I need,
he’s the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands,
still I’m searching for something
Out of breath, I am left
hoping someday I’ll breathe again
I’ll breathe again

Open up next to you
and my secrets become your truth
And the distance between that was sheltering me
comes in full view
Hang my head,
break my heart
built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear
is a love I can’t carry anymore

All I have, all I need,
he’s the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands,
still I’m searching for something

Out of breath, I am left
hoping someday I’ll breathe again

It hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
It hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?

All I have, all I need,
he’s the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands,
still I’m searching
All I have, all I need,
he’s the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands,
still I’m searching for something
Out of breath,
I am left
hoping someday I’ll breathe again
I’ll breathe again
