I Can’t Breathe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm scared to sleep, I'm scared to dream
I'm scared to wake up in case I scream
I'm scared to whisper one word
That's all it needs
I hear it breathe, I hear it sigh
I hear it laugh when something dies
I hear it calling
But I'm too scared to move

[Chorus]
I'm so scared I can't breathe
I'm so scared I can't breathe
I'm so scared I just can't breathe

[Verse 2]
I'm scared to look, I'm scared to see
I'm scared of mirrors in case it's me
I'm scared of memories
But now that's all I have
So I can't leave and no one comes
So no one noticed that I've come undone
I'd hide in shadows
But the shadows talk to me

[Chorus]
I'm so scared I can't breathe
I'm so scared I can't breathe
I'm so scared I just can't breathe

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
