i’ve been told no man can hold
a decision til it disappears
you gotta face the facts and no how to act
when the grades slip and shit gets weird
breathe, just breathe
stop pretending like you just don’t care
and breathe just breathe
your running out of time, not of air
sing a song string it along
like the lies you won’t confront
and I’m betting you a million times
I can call out where you get stuck
Cause your afraid of failure
you never try to succeed on your own
Because failure hurts, it hurts much worse
When your giving her your all, but she won’t take you home
i learned quick the best results
are when you concentrate and play it straight
she’ll always come to you with something crude
new dilemma or an old mistake
and you’ll try and give her your wisdom
as your holding her fate in your head
but you made up your mind dozens of times
so stop bluffing and go to bed
and sleep, just sleep
quit pretending like you care
breathe, just breathe
your running out of time (not air)
