This is How I Breathe

 

Tablo reader up chevron

Some songs will never be sung to the one they were intended for.

Sometimes when we move on, the song we wrote changes for someone new.

Some songs speak of love, or life, or something we just can't convey in anything but a lyric.

Good songs are the ones we can each interpret in our own way.

Music and song can make you think more deeply, can heal you, can remind you of what you have or what you have lost.

A song is my way of transforming what is written on my heart and mind into something I can feel from a different perspective.

 

These are songs I have written in many different stages of life. I have always loved and found peace and enlightenment in songwriting, and so I wrote lyrics, some with music and some without, to help me breathe and cope. All for the imaginary band going on in my head.

 

 

For Past and Future Crushes.

And Everyone Else.

Give You Back

How, how can I

watch you fail me countless times

and still feel the ache

pulling harder every time I see

your face

 whether it be

in my dreams

or in reality.

 

And what would I give

to give you back and forget

the first time that we met

and every step you took

after that

to ruin my life

When the moment comes I'll give you back.

 

When, when will I

see the lesson that I'm learning?

I try to hold on tight

but my heart just keeps on burning

I can't stop now

I've gone too far

And now you've ripped me apart.

 

And what would I give

to give you back and forget

the first time that we met

and every step you took

after that

to ruin my life

And what would I give

to give you back and forget

the first time that we met

and every step you took

after that

to ruin my life

When the moment comes I'll give you back.

 

You'll never know my pain

you'll never understand my brain

I don't get it either but 

I know you call my name!

 

And what would I give

to give you back and forget

the first time that we met

and every step you took

after that

to ruin my life

When the moment comes I'll give you back.

 

Why, why don't I

stop trying to believe a lie

I know you can't give me

what I needed if you tried

I want

your love

but no one can give it to me.

 

And what would I give

to give you back and forget

the first time that we met

and every step you took

after that

to ruin my life

When the moment comes I'll give you back.

Something I Can't Hide

(unfinished)

There's something I can't hide

It's rooted in my soul 

and it's taken up my pride

There's something I can't say

but I'll tell you if you stop and stay

 

Stop

and think about it

there's nothing I won't give

to keep you by my side

for as long as I live
