Lyrics for Breathe Underwater

Here comes another fall from grace I'm always falling on my face. This attitude that I embrace With a love I'm trying to replace. Try to kill this song 'Cause the melody's all wrong. And there's a feaver, comin' on. It's hard to reconcile What I've become. With the wounded ch-i-ld Hiding deep ins-i-yide. Breathe underwater I'm comin' up for air! I wanna see another dawn (Comin' up for air!) Sick of the slaughter (I'm comin' up for air!) 'Cause I've floating here too long. Take my ego for a ride 'Cause there's nobody by my side. It's getting hard to justify. And it won't be long 'til I collide. My weakness laid bare As people stop and stare. But It's the last time, I swear. It's hard to reconcile What I've become. With the wounded ch-i-ld Hiding deep ins-i-yide. Breathe underwater (I'm comin' up for air!) I wanna see another dawn (Comin' up for air!) Sick of the slaughter (I'm comin' up for air!) 'Cause I've floating here too long. Start breathing... Start breathing... Start breathing... Start breath-ing! Breathe underwater (I'm comin' up for air!) I wanna see another dawn (Comin' up for air!) Sick of the slaughter (I'm comin' up for air!) 'Cause I've floating here too long. I'm coming, I'm coming... I'm coming, ' coming... Comin' up for air... Comin' up for air!
