Breathe

How many cold vitriolic gazes
Before these signs of wear will show?
Did I ever reach out, begging for crumbs?
Are you here in my head, you know what I want?

Say you're building me up
But tearing me down
And I don't want fame
I don't wanna crown

If that's what it takes
I don't want a part
To jump when they say
It's not what I want

I'm one of the people they never let breathe
Different people, unable to breathe
Did I ever reach out, asking your view?
Your redundant thoughts on what I should do

Say you're building me up
But tearing me down
And I don't want fame
I don't wanna crown

And the things that you crave
Are not in my heart
If you're here in my head now
You see what I want

It's every time
It's every time
Every time
I try

It's every time
I try
