DELILAH
- Breathe Lyrics / with translationsI am strong when I'm quiet
I never let you see me stall
I can hate what you say and still smile
Only play on an open court
I am the ringleader of my own circle
Fall on my knees and I won't bleed
Set me on fire and I'll fall to sleep
The pain of my scolds sets me free
I can not Breathe (yeah)
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
Drown me in silence and suddenly I'm floating
I rip me apart with one look
Use my heart as a crutch for my ego
And hope that I never never fall in love
I can not Breathe (yeah)
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
I must survive
This wonderful punishment called life
Use my heart and unravel it
My innocence is all gone
Torn apart and I can't handle it
My innocence is all gone
I can not Breathe (yeah)
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
I must survive
This wonderful punishment called life
This wonderful punishment called life
I never let you see me stall
I can hate what you say and still smile
Only play on an open court
I am the ringleader of my own circle
Fall on my knees and I won't bleed
Set me on fire and I'll fall to sleep
The pain of my scolds sets me free
I can not Breathe (yeah)
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
Drown me in silence and suddenly I'm floating
I rip me apart with one look
Use my heart as a crutch for my ego
I can not Breathe (yeah)
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
I must survive
This wonderful punishment called life
Use my heart and unravel it
My innocence is all gone
Torn apart and I can't handle it
My innocence is all gone
I can not Breathe (yeah)
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
I must survive
This wonderful punishment called life
This wonderful punishment called life
