Breathe
Fight The Fade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wide awake again tonight.
Afraid to close my eyes.
Far too much on my mind.

Just slow down,
And give yourself some time.
All you need to know now,
Is I'm fine in the silence.
Just breathe.

I just want to take a breath.
If I could only shut down my head.
Get just a little peace and rest.

Just slow down,
And give yourself some time.
All you need to know now,
Is I'm fine in the silence.
Just breathe.

Just slow down,
And give yourself some time.
All you need to know now,
Is I'm fine in the silence.

Just slow down,
And give yourself some time.




All you need to know now,
Is I'm fine in the silence.
