[Verse 1]
Harness your heart, and be still now
Quiet that mind that will wander
All sorts of dark alleys
Tragedy strikes your self esteem
Constantly waiting for an ending
To all of this

[Pre-Chorus]
She opens her eyes
Suddenly she cries
Can we help her, can we help her?
And she replies

[Chorus]
You know, I fake it oh so well
That God himself can’t tell
What I mean and why my words are
Less than parallel, With my feet
You ask me what I need
And all I really need, Is to breathe

Oh, Ah

[Verse 2]
People, they seem so interested
Only a few get invested
With all the aches and pains
Doctor oh, doctor
Please help her
I fear she may not be breathing
Blue lips, and doe eyes
That’s her disguise
[Chorus]
You know, I fake it oh so well
That God himself can’t tell
What I mean and why my words are
Less than parallel, With my feet
You ask me what I need
And all I really need, Is to breathe

Oh
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh

[Verse 3]
Give me some space to breathe
(Ooooh, oh)
I need a little room to breathe
Give me some space to breathe
All I need is a little room to breathe

[Chorus]
I fake it oh so well
That God can’t tell

You know, I fake it oh so well
That God himself can’t tell
What I mean and why my words are
Less than parallel, With my feet
You ask me what I need
And all I really need, Is to breathe
Let me breathe
