[Intro: Jayden Panesso]
We know a broken heart can't always mend itself
So I need to get this off my chest
[Verse 1: Jayden Panesso]
Every waking moment
Sleep is what I seek
From dusk 'til dawn
From fucking home to home
I'm aware of my surroundings but
I just can't seem to get a grip of reality
[Pre-Chorus: Jayden Panesso]
What's it like to live, what's it like to breathe?
I don't know anymore
What's it like to live, what's it like to breathe?
I don't know anymore
What's it like to live, what's it like to breathe?
Someone out there, man, fill me in
'Cause I just can't seem to win that classic battle within
[Chorus: Miguel Cardona]
How can I take this life away, take this life away
When I was never alive to begin with?
Knowing the sorrow never stops
Forsaken, forsaken
[Verse 2: Jayden Panesso]
Aight, look, yo, yo, yo, yo
So someone tell me how you feel
So come and tell me what you think of life
So someone tell me how you feel
So come and tell me what you think of life
[Pre-Chorus: Jayden Panesso]
What's it like to live, what's it like to breathe?
I don't know anymore
What's it like to live, what's it like to breathe?
I don't know anymore
What's it like to live, what's it like to breathe?
Someone out there, man, fill me in
'Cause I just can't seem to win that classic battle within
[Chorus: Miguel Cardona]
How can I take this life away, take this life away
When I was never alive to begin with?
Knowing the sorrow never stops
Forsaken, forsaken
[Bridge: Jayden Panesso]
Fuck it
I'll punch these fucking walls until my knuckles bleed
Maybe then I'll realize it's not only fucking me
Because you bleed the same blood that I bleed
Because you bleed the same blood that I bleed
[Chorus: Miguel Cardona]
How can I take this life away, take this life away
When I was never alive to begin with?
Knowing the sorrow never stops
Forsaken, forsaken
How can I take this life away, take this life away
When I was never alive to begin with?
Knowing the sorrow never stops
Forsaken, forsaken

Jayden Panesso to Medium:
The song itself is about people… and well, those are problems that I had, you know. Last year, I was very sheltered and I kept everything to myself because I thought that was the best way to handle things and that’s what that song is about. Thinking that you’re the only pe...
