[1]
The world gets so loud sometimes and,
the sky looks so bleak.
I feel so low when I can't
remember my dreams.
You don't hear what I say when
I tell you these things.
All your advice doesn't help to
give me no peace.
[Pre-chorus]
Don't say, "Carry on it's not that bad.
Keep on, keep on."
Don't say, "You don't know what hard life is like".
[Chorus]
I wish it was easy to breathe.
Every day's the same.
I am over the way that
these days just repeat.
Wish there was somewhere I could be.
Don't tell me just smile
if you're not going to stay here with me.
[2]
I wish you could understand that
I'm not what I seem.
Closed off, in a daze, so I
can't tell you how I feel.
A little hard to explain when
I don't get no sleep.
To you it might sound like I'm crazy
but, I swear that it's real.
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Just wish it was easy to breathe in.
But it's not.
I know I'm starting to complain.
Took so much energy to reach the top.
How'm I supposed to grow when I can't stand up?
My feeling! I'm so tired!
No one takes the time to ease my mind.
Not many ways to tell you I'm not fine.
And you don't help when you tell me to smile.
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
I wish it was easy to breathe.
