You gotta start trying to eat again
Even though the only thing you hunger for
Is to have back your friend
You gotta do your head above the water
Even though time seems irrelevant now
And you're more than sick of this pain inside your chest
If this house would collapse ontop of me
The space would still remain
Much like her body refusing to function
Her soul won't go away
Take one breath and then take another
Repeat these simple steps
Until you feel like you're doing better.
Take one breath
Let the calm of it consume you
Everybody knows that it's never fair
There's really only one thing we can do
You gotta keep your head above the water
Even though sweet suffocation is a fine temptation
You'll always be her daughter.
You gotta push onward through the day
Keep your mind constantly running
You gotta let the sun in
She would have wanted it that way
If this house would collapse ontop of me
The space would still remain
Much like her body refusing to function
Her soul won't go away
Take one breath and then take another
Repeat these simple steps
Until you feel like you're doing better.
Take one breath
Let the calm of it consume you
Everybody knows that it's never fair
There's really only one thing we can do
At 4am when you are wide awake and fighting with yourself
There's about a thousand numbers to dial
Including mine if you need help.
There is no easy way to deal with these events
But if it's any consolation
I will be here, if you need a friend.
Take one breath and then take another
Repeat these simple steps
Until you feel like you're doing better.
Take one breath
Let the calm of it consume you
Everybody knows that it's never fair
There's really only one thing we can do
Even though the only thing you hunger for
Is to have back your friend
You gotta do your head above the water
Even though time seems irrelevant now
And you're more than sick of this pain inside your chest
If this house would collapse ontop of me
The space would still remain
Much like her body refusing to function
Her soul won't go away
Take one breath and then take another
Repeat these simple steps
Until you feel like you're doing better.
Take one breath
Let the calm of it consume you
Everybody knows that it's never fair
There's really only one thing we can do
You gotta keep your head above the water
Even though sweet suffocation is a fine temptation
You'll always be her daughter.
You gotta push onward through the day
Keep your mind constantly running
You gotta let the sun in
She would have wanted it that way
If this house would collapse ontop of me
The space would still remain
Much like her body refusing to function
Her soul won't go away
Take one breath and then take another
Repeat these simple steps
Until you feel like you're doing better.
Take one breath
Let the calm of it consume you
Everybody knows that it's never fair
There's really only one thing we can do
At 4am when you are wide awake and fighting with yourself
There's about a thousand numbers to dial
Including mine if you need help.
There is no easy way to deal with these events
But if it's any consolation
I will be here, if you need a friend.
Take one breath and then take another
Repeat these simple steps
Until you feel like you're doing better.
Take one breath
Let the calm of it consume you
Everybody knows that it's never fair
There's really only one thing we can do

This song makes me cry, because it's so amazing. I've never been so blown-away by a song before.
This song helped me so much. My grandma, who was basically my mom (I never had one) died a little over a month ago.. and this song pretty much got me through that depressing time in my life.
