I'll give you everything you want
but it's everything you need that really does it
With satisfaction guaranteed yeah
you never really need to cross the line
No one ever told you
that the world outside your shell's a little different
Pride's just a way of life yeah
the fall will land you on your feet just fine
Breathe a little louder dear
'cause I've forgotten what you sound like
Maybe you're just testing deeper waters of your soul
Maybe you're alive but somebody didn't tell you
That you need to breathe
You're going back to where you came from
'cause it's just a bit too real here on the outside
And the fanciness you crave comes up
against the little people on the street
Perfect eyes and makeup
make the perfect mask for what you can't be feeling
The nightmare that's behind the smile
that's plastered on at every meet and greet
Breathe a little louder dear
'cause I've forgotten what you sound like
Maybe you're just testing deeper waters of your soul
Maybe you're alive but somebody didn't tell you
That you need to breathe
Doing the rounds on your best friend's arm
The TV glows with your natural light
Fake the way they see you honey
Let them know that you can party all night
Breathe a little louder dear
'cause I've forgotten what you sound like
Maybe you're just testing deeper waters of your soul
Maybe you're alive but somebody didn't tell you
That you need to breathe
but it's everything you need that really does it
With satisfaction guaranteed yeah
you never really need to cross the line
No one ever told you
that the world outside your shell's a little different
Pride's just a way of life yeah
the fall will land you on your feet just fine
Breathe a little louder dear
'cause I've forgotten what you sound like
Maybe you're just testing deeper waters of your soul
Maybe you're alive but somebody didn't tell you
