You wanted to go but you knew you should stay
You tried to say no, but you smiled anyway
You gave it your best but you fell through the cracks
Your life is a mess but there's no going back
And yes, my dear, it's hard to be, my dear
Take hold of your breath and begin right here
Your breathing is slow but your heart's beating fast
The one thing you know is that nothing's made to last
Everything hurts and the world is a lie
But you can feel love, you know, if you try
And yes, my dear, it's hard to be, my dear
Take hold of your breath and begin right here
So wipe your eyes and count to ten
You've been there once and you will be there again
Grab your leather jacket, baby, call your friends
And tell them you've been writing music and you're on the mend
And, yes, my dear, it's hard to be, my dear
Grab hold of your breath and begin right here
Breathe in
Breathe in
And yes, my dear, it's hard to breathe, my dear
Take hold of your breath and begin right here
