Breathing
Safe Adam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I try to follow the signs
That's how I live my life
Cause when I needed my heart it all goes wrong
My journey has been on time
But only for a short while
The road that i've been on is far too long
And the pictures never clear when its all gone cold
No more counting my excuses i've got to be strong

Right now i'm building bridges
The shortcuts don't work no more
I'm not taking no more chances
Cause I can bleed no more
I wasn't born with a heart that's hollow
So I can help to love
No I don't want none to follow
I want to do this on my own

Thank God i'm breathing
I'm breathing
Thank God i'm breathing
I'm breathing


When there's no-where to hide
And what's wrong feels right
And the places that we know have all gone cold
I will search for the light
And not get pulled by the tide
And I will find the place that I call home
And the picture's never clear when it's all gone cold
No more counting my excuses i've got to be strong
Right now i'm building bridges
The shortcuts don't work no more
I'm not taking no more chances
Cause I can bleed no more
I wasn't born with a heart that's hollow
So I can help to love
No I don't want none to follow
I want to do this on my own

Thank God i'm breathing
I'm breathing
Thank God i'm breathing
I'm breathing


Right now i'm building bridges
The shortcuts don't work no more
I'm not taking no more chances
Cause I can bleed no more
I wasn't born with a heart that's hollow
So I can help to love
No I don't want none to follow
I want to do this on my own
Thank God i'm breathing
I'm breathing
Thank God i'm breathing
I'm breathing




Thank God i'm breathing
I'm breathing
