ROOM TO BREATHE

Music & Lyrics by Jason Yudoff

Now let me get this straight
Before we say goodbye
‘Cause I don’t want to hate
And I know you love to cry
You can’t break me down
It’s all been said before
The only sound I want to hear
is you walking out the door
I don’t know why
this always has to be so cruel
I wish it was beautiful like you

But I feel all right
And now that I’ve got a little room to breathe
I’ll take my time
Before I throw my heart away again
I’ll be just fine
Every now and then I get some T.L.C.
So save your smiles
for another rainy day
When it comes back around my way

Uncomfortable silence fills the air
Stillness like I’ve never heard
Where the beating of my heart
Is just another dirty word
When will I ever learn
that you could be any girl
And without what it takes for me to stay
You make me want to pack up all my shit
and wait down by the end of the road
like a runaway
You never even tried to understand
Now it’s time for you to find another man

But I feel all right
And now that I’ve got a little room to breathe
I’ll take my time
Before I throw my heart away again
I’ll be just fine
Every now and then I get some T.L.C.
So save your smiles
for another rainy day
When it comes back around my way

The inhibitions decline
but the pain only worsens
i love people online
but i hate them in person
Sometimes I despise
but I’m willing to be left alone
A shattered remnant of a broken home
A martyr with a microphone

Now it’s a funny thing
With everyone you know
Because you only get to see
What they choose to show
Sometimes your eyes were just so blue
I couldn’t see
That we were never meant to be

But I feel all right
And now that I’ve got a little room to breathe
I’ll take my time
Before I throw my heart away again
I’ll be just fine
Every now and then I get some T.L.C.
So save your smiles
for another rainy day
When it comes back around my wa
