Breathing

How do you always do this?
How do you always do this to me?
I keep on learning
As I'm falling end over end
I just take it in
I just take it right back on the chin

I'm only just surviving
I've only got my head above the waves
The storm is building up
And I'm going under again
Ain't got the strength to shout
I'm too busy breathing in and breathing out

So you guess you've had the best of me
You wanna leave the rest with me

I hold on tighter, losing the fighter
Just keep breathing, barely believing
You take it from me, my hopes, my dreams
It must be something within you
That takes me down that road we've been before
'Cause inside you know I can't take much more
'Cause baby, when you're gone
I keep holding on

You think I deserve this
You think you can walk all over me?
I keep on turning
Yeah, I just turn the other cheek
I just count to ten
Oh, maybe you'll come back 'round again

'Cause you think you've had the best of me
You wanna leave the rest with me

I hold on tighter, losing the fighter
Just keep breathing, barely believing
You take it from me, my hopes, my dreams
It must be something within you
That takes me down that road we've been before
'Cause inside you know I can't take much more
'Cause baby, when you're gone
I keep holding on

Yesterday, right out the blue
I saw this girl that reminded me of you
But that's something that I can't do
'Cause I just go on loving you
And I just can't stop loving you
So I, I hold on tighter, losing the fighter
I just keep breathing, barely believing

I hold on tighter, losing the fighter
Just keep breathing, barely believing
You take it from me, my hopes, my dreams
It must be something within you
That takes me down that road we've been before
'Cause inside you know I can't take much more
'Cause baby, when you're gone
I keep holding on

I'm only just surviving
