Breathing Lessons Lyrics
if there was a time and a place to let go of this heart, it's right now, it's always. It's not fair, it still hurts. I pretend that she asks, "do you know why stars shine?" but I can't tell her why. Keep your head between your knees, it's not fair, it's not fair. I'm trying not to breathe. It's all wrong, it still hurts, i'm still looking for the words. It's not fair, it's not fair, i'm still waiting for my turn. And I know that these words are the hardest ones to hear. I still wish I was home, watching your hands move to mine.
the first time i heard this song, i wanted to cry! this song pretty much describes what it feels like to have a broken heart, and you wil lnever understand why things didnt work out between you two...
He tries to describe what he is feeling, and like every person with a broken heart he is thinking about dying "I'm trying not to breathe" it's just beautiful
exactly how i feel..cept that Penfold vocalize it even better..so much emotion so much energy....when i listen to other bands..id find their songs bland and flat compared to Penfold...
I do love this song - simply amazing. Everyone's been there.
i love this song...and i think that everyone can at some point or another agree that these lyrics feel like home.
this is one of the best songs ever written. i cry almost everytime i hear this song it descibes everything i feel right now!
great song. It's actually the first song i've ever heard by Penfold. I'll definitely have to look into downloading some of their other songs. :)
yeah these song lyrics are really good....and most everyone can relate to them...yay for penfold!!!
question...? does anybody else think that when he says "and i know these words are the hardest to hear' he may be talking to himself? i think it gives an interesting perspective on the song
I'd guess that the words are more along the lines of "I'm leaving", or maybe "It's over". Or quite possibly, "I miss you". I hate being a sappy bastard. As always, it is open to interpretation.
