Lyrics How Heavily I Breathe - Catch Fire

How Heavily I Breathe

Reminisce those days well spent
To subdue the argument that in your absence
The worst always happens
I’m sure I’ll find my feet again
But it’s a long, hard walk without them
Laid to waste by my mistakes
Now I’m just accustomed to the way they all keep me awake
I’ll trade my nights for your days
What’s it like on the right side of dependency?
What’s it like to be free from the pain?
Artificially happy
Don’t you want the real thing?
Those pills won’t make you better
They’ll just numb the ache
I’ve seen this happen before
When you got carried away
You went to bed that night hoping you wouldn’t wake up
But I’m so glad that you did
I’m so glad you did
And it keeps me awake
But I’ll trade my nights for your days
What’s it like on the right side of dependency?
What’s it like to be free from the pain?
Artificially happy
Don’t you want the real thing?
I want the real thing
Have you noticed just how heavily I breathe?
Still haven’t put it to rest
My nervous stomach sweeps me off my feet
And that’s the last thing that I need
But on my good will you must feed
What’s it like on the right side of dependency?
What’s it like to be free from the pain?
I’ll wait and see
