Breathe.

As I'm pacing this floor; I'm forcing myself to breathe.
Cause if I stop pacing this floor; I won't have to think.
And as you walk out that door; I'll force my eyes to blink.
But I'll be damned if If I add to your score and let these tears fall...
Instead; I'll scream
And I'll scream until my teeth hurt.
And then I'll run
And I'll run until my feet hurt.
The lies, the stress, the hurt, and the pain
You Could NEVER Feel This
But It'll chill you like rain
It'll cleanse you like grain
It'll liquidate your brain
But in the midst of it all you will only SENSE my pain
As you feel on her frame
Then she calls out your name
But you refuse to speak because you're afraid of what you might say..
But it really doesn't matter it's just part of the game right?
You're there with her but you blame me for our fights.
Maybe if you were doing right at home you wouldn't be alone at night.
Sleeping on the couch having nothing to do but think about your life.
Waking up to good breakfast but gettin' mad when it ain't yours.
Can't stay at home but you want me to cook for your boys.
Can't think about me but you wanna run to your toys.
WHO THE f*ck IS ANGELICA!!
ARE YOU WILLING TO EXPLAIN, PLEASE?
WELL UNTIL YOU ARE YOU AIN'T STAYIN' WIT ME!
I'll finally sit down and laugh while you beg and plea.
You know this is kind of satisfying...
Cause with you gone, I can easily breathe.
