Lyrics
I know that you've going through a really tough time, and I know that you've been lonely.
I know you wanna blame me I'll accept my crime, but here's what's on my mind.
Just breathe; it's not as bad as you believe, all the beauty that you see.
Just breathe, exhale the thought of me, just breathe and you'll be free.
I know that you've been hurtin wanna hurt me too, and you feel your life in shattered.
The only thing that mattered to you torn apart, get up and stop your cryin.
Just breathe; it's not as bad as you believe, all the beauty that you see.
Just breathe, exhale the thought of me, just breathe and you'll be free.
It's not as bad as you believe
Exhale the thought of me
Just breathe and you'll be free
All the beauty that you see
Exhale the thought of me
Just breathe and you'll be free
