Out Of Breath Lyrics

A broken window
An open door
A cold wind blowing
Some leaves strewn about the floor
Rain drops falling down from the ceiling
A wall with cracking paint
Something dead in the sink

Is this wold lost?
Where's common sense?
Nothing more to say
I cannot believe my eyes!
Is this world a ghost,
A dead man waiting,
A forgotten king?
I cannot believe my eyes! (I don't know!)

I'm out of breath
Is that the better life that you promised?
I'm out of breath
I don't want to realize it is hopeless
Are better days to come?
Is that life changing?
Will I find my breath again?

Is this wold lost?
Where's common sense?
Nothing more to say
I cannot believe my eyes!
Is this world a ghost,
A dead man waiting,
A forgotten king?
I don't know!

I feel drained
I feel drained
From fighting fears each day
I feel drained
I feel drained
Who could accept to live this way?
I'm so tired of feeling ashamed
Of living this way

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
