Harness your heart and be still now
Quiet that mind that will wander
All sorts of dark alleys

Tragedy strikes your self-esteem
Constantly waiting for an ending
To all of this

She opens her eyes, suddenly she cries
Can we help her, can we help her?
And she replies

You know, I fake it oh so well
That God himself can't tell
What I mean and why my words

Are less than parallel with my feet
You ask me what I need
And all I really need is to breathe

Ooh, aah

People they seem so interested
Only if you get invested with
All the aches and pains

Doctor, oh doctor please help her
I fear she may not be breathing
Blue lips and doe eyes
That's her disguise

You know, I fake it oh so well
That God himself can't tell
What I mean and why my words

Are less than parallel with my feet
You ask me what I need
And all I really need is to breathe

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Give me some space to breathe
I need a little room to breathe
Give me some space to breathe
All I need is a little room to breathe

I fake it oh so well that God can't tell you
You know, I fake it oh so well
That God himself can't tell
What I mean and why my words

Are less than parallel with my feet
You ask me what I need
And all I really need is to breathe
Let me breathe
