Breathe Through Lyrics

Can I pull this from the air
Do I have the strength to fight
Or will I hold my tongue
Til is passes through the long
and balmy night
And a mother sets the table
cleans the dishes with her hands
passed down through the poking and the proding
and the don't let this get in the way
of your plans

Oh when it hits me
all I can do is just
breathe again
and breathe through
Oh when it hits me
all I can do is just
breathe again
and breathe through

Can I hope for something more
Can I hope for something real
Standing tall in the back yard
praying to my trees
for something to feel
And I hear him pulling up
I hear the door slamming
The slow whistle of his cigarette
and all I want is to peel
the paint, the paint from his skin

Oh when it hits me
all I can do is just
breathe again
and breathe through
Oh when it hits me
all I can do is just
breathe again
and breathe through
And I can't let it go
can't let it go
this is the last time
I'll feel it there

I can't let it go
because I know
even if I shut my blinds
he's still out there
still out there

Oh when it hits me
all I can do is just
breathe again
and breathe through
Oh when it hits me
all I can do is just
breathe again
and breathe through

And forget the me and the you
