You never gave me a chance
Now everything that I did comes back around and tries to haunt me again
It just won’t let me live its like being in my own prison
Where I’m beaten down and broken into something that I don’t want to be

Now I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
Until I know the air outside is clean and everything I lost
Feels like a dream, I can’t breathe
Sometimes you don’t know what you need
Until it lies in ruins at your feet

I feel a weight on my chest
From all the bad things I did its building pressure but I won’t give in
They haven’t sealed my fate just yet so throw your stones if you’ve got no sin
And I’ll throw them right back at you my stuckup lying friend

Cause I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
Until I know the air outside is clean and everything I lost
Feels like a dream, I can’t breathe
Sometimes you don’t know what you need
Until it lies in ruins at your feet

You never gave me a chance
And everything that I did comes back around to haunt me
Its like you don’t want to let me live but we’ve all got sins
And all I ever wanted was the chance to fight again

Now I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe
Until I know the air outside is clean and everything I lost
Feels like a dream, I can’t breathe
Sometimes you don’t know what you need
Until it lies in ruins

At your feet, I can’t breathe
Til I know the air outside is clean and everything I lost
Feels like a dream, I can’t breathe
Sometimes you don’t know what you need
Until it lies in ruins...at your feet
