Breathing
Safe Adam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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

I try to follow the signs
I strive to adhere to the guidance and indications that life presents
That's how I live my life
This is the approach I adopt to navigate through my existence
Cause when I needed my heart it all goes wrong
In moments when I relied on my emotions, everything turns awry
My journey has been on time
The progress I've made has been punctual and well-paced
But only for a short while
However, this state of order and timeliness is temporary
The road that I've been on is far too long
The path I've traveled has extended beyond a reasonable length
And the pictures never clear when it's all gone cold
When everything becomes detached and indifferent, the images become blurry
No more counting my excuses I've got to be strong
I must cease tallying my justifications and actively cultivate strength
Right now I'm building bridges
In this moment, I am constructing connections and reconciliations
The shortcuts don't work no more
Taking the easier or quicker routes is no longer effective
I'm not taking no more chances
I am no longer willing to take risks or gamble
Cause I can bleed no more
Because I have endured enough pain and cannot withstand any more
I wasn't born with a heart that's hollow
My heart is not devoid of emotions or compassion
So I can help to love
Therefore, I am capable of contributing to the act of loving others
No I don't want none to follow
I do not desire anyone to imitate or mirror my path
I want to do this on my own
I aspire to accomplish this independently
Thank God I'm breathing
I express gratitude to a higher power for the gift of life and breath
I'm breathing
I am alive and taking in oxygen
