Some days I feel like leaving, this place
but then i feel like staying put in one place
as I walk out I can't take a single breath
it's killing me deep in my soul
but when i walk in this empty room i can breathe in and out
like you let me breathe for a while
you have set me free
some days I cannot breathe out but I can breathe in
you are giving me a source to breathe
I don't hate you, I like you and that's the problem
you have just set me free, like a flying bird
thank you for letting me breathe
and breathing the morning cool air, every time i wake up
I am finally free from you, I can break free, in hole universe
thank you, thank you for letting me every single breath of my lifetime...
