DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL LYRICS - Reason To Believe

"Reason To Believe"



Oh sweet lungs don't fail me now

Your burning has turned into fear

That trails me in my every step, I'm moving quick but you're always on my heels



Just one more breath, I beg you please

Just one more step, my knees are weak

My heart is sturdy but it needs you to survive

My heart is sturdy but it needs you



Breathe, don't you want to breathe?

I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need

My capillaries scream, there's nothing left to feed on

My body needs a reason to cross that line

Will you carry me there one more time?



Steady lungs, don't fail me now

I feel you bursting but you won't let me die

Fill me up with every step

I'm feeling sick, but I'm leaving it behind



Just one long breath I beg you please

Just one more step you are not weak

My legs are sturdy but they need you to survive

My heart is sturdy but I need you



Breathe, don't you want to breathe?

And know that you are strong enough to handle what I need

My capillaries scream, there's nothing left to feed on

My body needs a reason to cross that line

Will you carry me there once more?



I have reason to believe that I have victories to taste

I can feel them on my teeth, upon my lips and in my chest

I can roll them on my tongue, they are more supple than defeat

I feel the tension in my lungs and every move is fueled by my resolve to



Breathe, don't you want to breathe?

I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need

My capillaries scream, there's nothing left to feed on

My body needs a reason to cross that line

Will you carry me there one more time?
