Let Me Breathe Lyrics

do you think I am made of stone?
cold and unfeeling
where all the pieces of my heart
you have been stealing

I have to tell you just how I feel
without some sugar coating
are you so blind that you cannot see
that I am suffocating, oh yeah

so let me breathe
oh, oh
i have to live

although it hurts me to confess
I can't stop myself from thinking
its better to jump overboard
before this ship starts sinking

would you please give me some air

and let me breathe
ooh, oh
I have to live

I need to take some time for myself
and leave behind
I want to shine over time like
like just exist

won't you please give me some air

and let me breathe
ooh, oh
I have to live

I need to save some time for myself
and leave behind
I want to shine over time
like just exist

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.
