Breathe

Yes, I got to the end of the tunnel
But I don’t see light, I don’t see an end to
The night

If you’re not a prince I guess I’m not a princess
But I should’ve turned around when I saw this
I should have…

But it’s too late to fight
It’s too late to try and make things right

-Chorus-
So now I breathe, breathe slowly as those images fade
I try to breathe long enough to find something to trade
So I’ll die old in your arms and not alone now
But here I breathe, breathe hardly trying to take it back
I breathe, (oh, breathe) hardly as everything turns black
I just hope you’ll remember who I am one year from now

Yes, I used to be terrified of death
But I’m not anymore, while I take my last breath
No more…

This blood is running on my hand like you did
Like you ran away from what you really need
Ain’t that me?

I guess not, because if I were
I wouldn’t be dying and you wouldn’t be with her

-Chorus-
So now I breathe, breathe slowly as those images fade
I try to breathe long enough to find something to trade
So I’ll die old in your arms and not alone now
But here I breathe, breathe hardly trying to take it back
I breathe, (oh, breathe) hardly as everything turns black
I just hope you’ll remember who I am one year from now

-Bridge-
I wish you’d come here on a white horse
Cover my…. bleeding fist with yours
I wish you wouldn’t let me die
But you don’t even care that I…

-Chorus-
Breathe, breathe slowly as those images fade
I try to breathe long enough to find something to trade
So I’ll die old in your arms and not alone now
But here I breathe, breathe hardly trying to take it back
I breathe, (oh, breathe) hardly as everything turns black
I just hope you’ll remember who I am one year from now

Well I just want to say again that I read and love everything you post, and this is another heart-rending jewel. And btw, just because the prince was fake doesn't mean the princess isn't real and just keep it up Angel, I'm sure your talent inspires and helps and just plain pleases a lot of people who read here.

could u share this??

I am going to read this a few more times before I can come up with a non-generic comment. I think it deserve it. Better to take in than to at the moment, no?

This seems thematic to me. The chorus ties in perfectly with the before and following lines. If hands mean more than what I am thinking, then it drives all the more depth into this. I truly enjoyed this one, LA. Thank you!

I like the structure of the song, some of the verses confuse me but as a whole I like it. I picture this on an acoustc guitar, very chilled out. Do you have a link for a recording?
