remember to breathe

i hear your voice

am i dreaming?

i see your face and i reach out

the vision dissolves then it just fades away

drawing alone in my own thoughts

calm of the storm there is silence

empty and lost i put a smile on each day

and i breathe this air like i'm alive

and without you here

my heart is frozen inside

and i'd run to you if i knew how

i'd fall into your arms

never let you go

i wouldn't have to

remember to breathe

i put on this dress and some make-up

but it can't hide what i'm feelin'

work through the pain it's the only way

once i was weak getting stronger

everything's changed i'm so lonely

gotta get up wipe a thousand tears away

and i breathe this air like i'm alive

and without you here

my heart is frozen inside

and i'd run to you if i knew how

i'd fall into your arms

never let you go

i wouldn't have to

remember to breathe

step by step i climb this mountain of mine

i slip back

but everybody has to fall sometimes

reaching out i almost touch the sky

it's the best i can do to try

and i breathe this air like i'm alive

and without you here

my heart is frozen inside

and i'd run to you if i knew how

i'd fall into your arms

never let you go

i wouldn't have to

remember to breathe
