Breathe Lyrics

Cover art for Breathe lyrics by He Is We

I have been through a lot in the past year. Sophomore year was not the best. My dad always expects so much of me with my grades, but I always fail him. I always disappoint him because I'm not perfect like my A and B sister and I don't play sports. Perfection. That's what he expects, but I can't do that. I'm not my sister. I don't straight A's. I don't play sports.

I guess what I'm saying is that this song has really helped me. For the past year I have gotten at least 5 panic attacks and 3 nervous breakdowns. I know they are similar but trust me there is a difference.

One day my best friend played this song for me after another one of my episodes when I was at her house. I listened to the words, realizing that the lyrics were her words to me. As soon as the chorus came, I couldn't help but break down and hug my best friend who is like a sister to me.

One day I am going to play this song for my dad. I am having Rachel say what needs to be said for me. But right now I need to take my time and breathe.
