[Verse 1]
If I gave you more of me
Would you give me more of you?
Or will I be someone you knew?
Know you're used to being used
I guess this is suicidal, why you so suicidal?
And is it my fault when you cry, though?
Is it my fault that you hide, though?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I know you need the drugs to see the light, to feel the life inside your vein
Know you need the drugs to feel alive, to reassure yourself you're sane
[Chorus]
So I know
And baby, I know, yeah
That it hurts to breathe, it hurts to breathe it in
And baby, I know, yeah
When it hurts to breathe, I hope you breathe it in
[Verse 2]
I know you're trying your best to stay afloat, yeah, yeah
I can tell it's harder for you than me, I know, yeah, yeah
And I don't wanna seem so insensitive to you
So I just need to find my way to tell myself
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you need the drugs to find the meaning in the pain
Know you need the drugs to feel alive to reassure yourself you're sane
[Chorus]
So I know
And baby, I know, yeah
That it hurts to breathe, it hurts to breathe it in
And baby, I know, yeah
When it hurts to breathe, I hope you breathe it in
[Bridge]
Is it you you're fightin'?
And is the pain subsidin'?
You staring at yourself in the mirror, self in the mirror
Seeing that things don't change
[Chorus]
So I know, I know, and I know
And, baby, I know, yeah, I know
That it hurts to breathe, it hurts to breathe it in, and I know
And baby, I know, yeah, I know
When it hurts to breathe, I hope you breathe it in
[Outro]
Oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, yeah
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
