Analysis of Breathe



I'm searching &  I'm grasping for one last breathe

I just have to say,  is it all worth it?

I know you see my story, & the pain is just real

Loving me so endless, on my bad days it's hard to feel

Must things be so cruel, yet so full of love

I'm trying to understand, simply rise above

Would have spoken sooner, but it seems kind of odd

Speaking to the wind, hoping that there is a God

Cast away these cares, please listen to this prayer

I'm tired of the struggle, seeing so unfair

I have to depend on you & no one else

Help save me from this pit I'm drowning in

I only want good health

I keep swimming to the top, but falling back again

A never ending story that's my life & I know its not the end
