Let me breathe at my own pace,
Let me breathe, let me breathe,
You don't need to keep watch,
Let me breathe, let me breathe,
I know you're trying,
I know you mean well,
But it's never pure* and it always turns out wrong,
You hear everything I'm saying,
You see everything I do,
But if you cut the cord,
Think about how delicate it is,
Let me breathe at my own pace,
Let me breathe, let me breathe,
You don't need to keep watch,
Let me breathe, let me breathe,
If the room is too small then it can easily run out of air,
If you close the door, I won't be able to come out,
I give you everything I promised
You want even more
But if you'd just listen,
You'd be able to understand
Let me breathe,
I've been there for you,
I had a little trouble seeing,
That the step backwards,
Could be a step forwards
