Brooke Fair - I Can't Breathe Lyrics

I'm staring at the mirror
Thinking 'bout all the things that I can't change
Wouldn't call myself a quitter
But every since June I've just been so blue like
Up, down down down up down down
Wiping all my tears on designer gowns
I'm not the kind of starving you can feed

I'm staring at the mirror
Thinking 'bout all the friends I haven't seen
All alone and feeling bitter
Days like years, I've run out of tears
I'm up down down down up down down
Feeling like I'm six feet underground

Cause ever since I don't know when
I spend my days inside my head
And even my own hands feel out of reach
I weep so deep into the night
When I've long since turned out the light

I can't breathe

I can't breathe

I listen for a second
But only the sharp words make it to my ears
Can't help feeling like I'm helpless
No matter what I do, I just feel so blue
I'm up down down down up down down
Smiling half as often as I frown

Cause ever since I don't know when
I spend my days inside my head
And even my own hands feel out of reach
I weep so deep into the night
When I've long since turned out the light

I can't breathe talk, sleep, or even hear myself think
Can't you see me hurting, can't you feel me hurting
When the world mistreats me I am left in pieces
Everybody leaves me, everybody leaves me

I can't breathe, talk, sleep, or even hear myself think
Can't you see me hurting can't you feel me hurting
When the world mistreats me I am left in pieces
Everybody leaves me, everybody leaves me

I can't breathe

I can't breathe
