lyrics

Don't try and save me from myself, let me drown in loneliness
I've been doing it for so long, I got used to live on my own

And you, you don't know what's best for me so please go, and let me be
'Cause I know, what it is that you want from me

And when you feel
Like your lungs are gasping for air
when your hands begin to wrinkle then
When your eyes begin to water, only then

You'll learn to breathe
You'll learn to see what it is that you need
And when you're no longer looking for peace
Only then you'll learn to breathe

Look at the scales that are growing on your skin
At the teeth that are falling, to let the fangs come in

And now every place that you go
is darkened by this as if you carried some heavy load

And when you feel
Like your lungs are gasping for air
when your hands begin to wrinkle then
When your eyes begin to water, only then

You'll learn to breathe
You'll learn to see what it is that you need
And when you're no longer looking for peace
Only then you'll learn to breathe

You'll learn to see what it is that you need
And when you're no longer looking for peace
Only then you'll learn to breathe
