When My Lungs Are Caving In
Don't tell me to breathe
When my lungs are caving in
When the earth beneath my feet
is sinking
Don't say to carry on
When my legs are crumbling
When I can't see the sun
but it's blinding
Don't tell me to slow down
When the world won't stop spinning
When time stands still somehow
yet it's winning
When my heart is breaking
Don't say it will be okay
When I can't stop shaking
When my bones are aching
When I can't stand waking when each second is painstaking
when this must
be a mistake.
Don't tell me to breathe
When my lungs are caving in.
It's when your arms are around me,
this pain's a little less suffocating.
