[Verse 1]

Women will not be ever as important as the music. And if a woman thinks she can, she's kidding herself

[Chorus]

Seems like all we ever do is disagree about the time we spend together

It's got me feeling stuffed. Got you living second fiddle to the music that I'm doing and this dream

That I'm pursuing who it knew I choose the path to

Root to man it's got you and apologize for all the times I'd

Rather rap than call you back, but this is not a

Life I'm giving up so you can live without

And I've tried to be as genuine as anyone could ever be

I love you, and I want you to be one who's lying next to me

But anyone as beautiful as you should know

The glue that holds the world together through

The cold and gloomy smoke is music

So I pull the record off the shelf

And let it spin me back to health

I know, a bad day it will

Help the way I'm looking at myself

I go through days with my whole world fucked up

And making a song is all that makes sense

All I really give a fuck about the nice hook

Lethargic, I've forgotten what the day is

[Chorus]

But I breathe so I guess I'm alive

Even though I could never define it

And I breathe well aware

That the side respiration lessens the lie

So I breathe to remind myself that I still

Got some time to kill and I breathe so

I guess I'm alive yeah, guess I'm alive

Yeah, guess I'm alive

[Verse 3]

I got a question. What's that?

Why you be so upset?

I've given everything that I could ever give

So don't fret but I want my heart back it's been mistreated still

I hope you know that you could use it if you read it

Don't ruin how I feel turn me into the asshole

I guess we should have known from the beginning

It's a crap show

Still, I got to say I wish the gamble paid off

Every time I think about you realize what I lost

Honestly my self-esteem is half what it was when we met

I want to be a happy person, but I don't know

If I can be girl, I want to be with you

But this is just ridiculous

I'm tired of your jealousy and anger in your viciousness

I miss a kiss and innocent look, get a grip

I'm feeling ripped

A vulnerable moment overloaded with a million reasons why I got

To stay with you tonight I got to break it to you

Girl, I love you

But I feel like I'm being smothered by you

[Chorus]

But I breathe, so I guess I'm alive

Even though I could never define it

And I breathe well aware that the side

Respiration lessons the lie and I breathe to remind

Myself that I still got some time to kill

And I breathe so I guess I'm alive. Yeah

Guess I'm alive. Yeah, guess I'm alive

[Verse 4]

Yo, it's all a lot of stupid fucking bullshit, but I guess

That's what love is, isn't it?

And I don't hold a clue to what I'm

Supposed to do cause I refuse to choose between

A microphone and you

If you'd like to know the truth

I love you both, but it's going to be you;

If one's got to go, I ain't saying I want you leaving

But an ultimatum is a nice way to say

Fuck you, and I wouldn't bother with it. (and furthermore)

[Verse 5]

Our days are hard, and maybe it's all been too long

To change it, but I think you got as great

Sorry I cannot believe in any of the vengeance demons

Wishes you would stop and see that all of

Us are lost in this broken world

I'm so, so sick of this

What's the point in it?

Don't lie to me I can read your acting but

What I'm trying to say is why all the games why can't

We stop being hypocrites and try to be happy?

[Chorus]

But I breathe so I guess I'm alive even though I

Could never define it

And I breathe well aware that the side

Respiration lessens the lie

So I breathe to remind myself that I

Still got some time to kill

And I breathe so I guess I'm alive yeah, guess I'm alive yeah, guess I'm alive

So I guess I'm alive even though I can never define it

And I'm well aware that the side respiration lessens the

Lie

So I - to remind myself that I still got some

Time to kill and I - so I guess I'm alive. Yeah

Guess I'm alive. Yeah, guess I'm alive

[Outro]

I remember a time but not too long ago

When all my days were one shade of black

And all the thoughts that drag through my head seemed to wash away the sun

Always a day late, a dollar short, one split second out

Of time... I find myself in the same old shit

The same old shit again
