Breathe (Softly Before I Scream) Lyrics
It’s all confirmation
For your imagination
This type of situation
Goes on and on
What to do
How to say
When every little thing
Seems to get in my way
I can’t breathe
And I wish that you couldn’t take your eyes off of me
Ohh but it’s never as easy as it seems
Is it please
Softly before I scream
breathe breathe breathe
You say you adore me
What good could you be for me
And after I’m gone
Wondering where you went wrong
Cause you’re only takin inches
When I’m giving you miles
Did you figure that maybe I wasn’t worth your while?
Well I can’t breathe
And I wish that you couldn’t take your eyes off of me
Ohh but it’s never as easy as it seems
Is it please
Before I
Scream…before I
Scream…breathe breathe breathe
Cause where you got me
Is where you want me
When you had me
but you left me
And I let this go on
for so long
Got me
where you want me
Well you had me
But you left me
And I let this go on
For so long
And I can’t breathe
And I wish that you couldn’t take your eyes off of me
Oh but it’s never as easy as it seems
Is it please…softly before I scream
breathe breathe breathe
For your imagination
This type of situation
Goes on and on
What to do
How to say
When every little thing
Seems to get in my way
And I wish that you couldn’t take your eyes off of me
Ohh but it’s never as easy as it seems
Is it please
Softly before I scream
breathe breathe breathe
What good could you be for me
And after I’m gone
Wondering where you went wrong
Cause you’re only takin inches
When I’m giving you miles
Did you figure that maybe I wasn’t worth your while?
And I wish that you couldn’t take your eyes off of me
Ohh but it’s never as easy as it seems
Is it please
Before I
Scream…breathe breathe breathe
Is where you want me
When you had me
but you left me
And I let this go on
for so long
where you want me
Well you had me
But you left me
And I let this go on
For so long
And I wish that you couldn’t take your eyes off of me
Oh but it’s never as easy as it seems
Is it please…softly before I scream
breathe breathe breathe

When I listen to this oh man I feel her frustration.
It sounds like it's about the kind of unrequitted love that drives you mad :(
