Breathing
U.R.I. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lost myself and you were weak
Sorry but I must inform
The others on intentions that you seek
How do I (how do I)
Choose a side?
I'm just trying, I'm just fighting to say
I'm alive
And not just breathing
She only cares about the way she looks
Can't think for herself, she's just a frame
A body dwelling on this earth
A user of the desperate and the vain
Maybe there's someone out there (there)
Who's good with speaking to a blank stare (stare)
I know I'm preaching to a lost cause, but at least I know
I'm alive
I'm alive
And not just breathing
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
I'm not afraid
To speak my mind and throw this life away
I've been enslaved
And years of wasting time made me this way
No, it won't get better
We'll just drift apart
And when you do start trying
I hope you're reminded
I'm alive
I'm alive
And not just breathing
Time will tell but I wait patiently
There's not a single string attached to you that I can't see
It's like the longer I wait the more you disintegrate
There's not a moment I don't hope for you but I can't wait
Time will tell but I wait patiently
There's not a single string attached to you that I can't see
It's like the longer I wait the more you disintegrate
There's not a moment I don't hope for you but I can't wait
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
I'm alive
I'm alive
And not just breathing

The singer hopes that this person will eventually start trying to change, but he cannot wait for that to happen.

There's not a moment I don't hope for you but I can't wait
I am waiting for you to improve, but I can see through your lies and deceit; as time passes, you are only becoming worse, and although I want the best for you, I cannot wait forever.

Ugh I have this right now, it's not as bad as a lot of the comments I'm reading. It's just painful as hell to swallow anything even water. Luckily I'm not conjested and can still talk but just the sore throat part is bad enough.
