Breathe

I see this thing in you that I kind of recognize
I think that I can see the panic in your eyes
I'm worried that this is not a test
I can see you feel some pressure to the chest

I know that you are scared that this is gonna hurt
It's not getting better; it is only getting worse
I hate to say that it's just anxiety
And that you need to slow down, to get through this
You really need to

Breathe, breathe
I know it's really hard when it hits you
I know it's really tough, but you've got to
Breathe, breathe
I know you see yourself as too weak
I know it seems hard but oh you really need to

Take a deep breath and ignore your trembling heart
I know it's really tough when it's beating so hard
It's rough to get through this single feeling
All feels difficult even just breathing

I know that you feel weak, I can see that you are trembling
I know it's psychological, but it feels like it's dissembling
Everything that's you, but you'll see
If you only take a moment to get through this
'cause you really need to

Breathe, breathe
I know it's really hard when it hits you
I know it's really tough, but you've got to
Breathe, breathe
I know you see yourself as too weak
I know it seems hard but oh you really need to

Know that this feeling just overtakes you so
That all you feel is trapped with nowhere left to go
And you wonder how long it's gonna last
You try to reassure yourself that it will pass
In a second you'll see this moment will subside
To this ticking bomb that will always be inside
As long as you're aware and you are feeling
That you're alive because you're still breathing
