lyrics

It’s oh so hard to breathe
And it’s oh so hard to tell you what’s happening
And I feel so alone
And it’s oh so hard to tell you what’s happening

This song’s an explanation
For my feelings that don’t show
For why they hide inside my skull
Never wanting to be known
There’s security in me
And I know that I won’t abandon myself

Once I open my heart
There is no escape
There’s no promise in this world
That you will keep me safe
You’ll have the key to hurt me
And I will not rely on myself

It’s oh so hard to breathe
And it’s oh so hard to tell you what’s happening
And I feel so alone
And it’s oh so hard to tell you what’s happening

On top of that insecurity
Are the burdens of unknown
Like where am I going?
What careers will I hold?
It’s all moving too fast
And I can’t be left behind

There’s stress in not knowing
Where this world is taking me
All these questions still unanswered
Will I ever be free?
No I just hide behind this image of strength
I've created for me

It’s oh so hard to breathe
And it’s oh so hard to tell you what’s happening
And I feel so alone
And it’s oh so hard to tell you what’s happening

And when will I stop hiding
From these feelings that I have?
I’m not alone and I never will be
So can’t I just relax
But my mind it tells me no
And my heart, it won’t let you go

And Maybe I’m just paranoid
These voices in my head
Screaming don’t you give up anything
Your mind cannot be read
But by pleading the fifth
I will only incriminate me

It’s oh so hard to breathe
And it’s oh so hard to tell you what’s happening
And I feel so alone
And it’s oh so hard to tell you what’s happening
