penning the penultimate by the velvet teen
(this i know you guys will appreciate)
i know a lot more than they think
and with the radio on i try to go back to sleep
when all the world's posers blow smoke in my face
i think of the love that i can make
but i struggle so hard for each breath that i take.
i get so sick that i can hardly speak
but with my head full of pills i try to go back to sleep
'cause when you're sad but you force up a grin anyway
it's hard not to feel fake
but i struggle so hard for each breath that i take.
maybe some day i'll be at the top
and with my head in my hands i'll try to make it all stop, just stop
'cause every time i find love i choke so hard that for weeks my body aches
but i struggle so hard for each breath that i take
i struggle so hard for each breath that i take
and i struggle so hard for each breath...
be what you are
don't be what you are
when the world throws you down at its feet
at least you can know you've got it straight
we all struggle so hard for each breath that we take.
we all struggle so hard for each breath that we take.
and i struggle so hard for each breath that i take
