I know you feel used, but you're so used to it
I know you feel taken advantage of, but it's taking you too long to admit
I'm somewhere in between who I was and who I'm supposed to be
Do I really deserve to go
Do you deserve to be left alone
One child, one room, one day at a time (left alone)
One worry, turned fear
One day, one year
This air is stale so far from clear
How can we breathe
You're smoke encased, you're scared
To smother your fire in fear of your face
I wanna cry, I wanna run
But I just sit here
Just sit here
I need to breathe
I need to breathe
Breathe
One child, one room, one day at a time (I need to breathe)
One worry, turned fear (I need to breathe)
One day, one year (breathe)
Suffocate in silence with a
Smile on my face
Aching for
A new heart
Desperate for new arms
To hold me in a new place
Where the air is pellucidly clear
