NEEDTOBREATHE Songs by First Lyrics

My heart is leading and I'm under attack, don't need a cure cause I don't wanna go back, I'm givin' in, there ain't no fighting this fire

I got this target right here on my back, they’re aiming where I was, not where I’m at, they ain’t stopped me since I was eighteen, I’m moving faster than my enemies

I wanna be there when the voices in your head are loud enough to make you lose your mind, just the same when you're dominating the day, I wanna be the one who's by your side

I was sleeping with a loaded gun, I was scared of all things I'd done, yeah, I know I'm not the only one, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright now

Shortfalls and little sins, close calls where no one wins, stand tall but running thin, I'm wearing thin. Oh, why are we keeping score?

Blood red lipstick painted on, lightin' up another sundown cigarette, cameras ready, curtains strung, lights are on, the stage is set

This feels like one of those moments moving by so fast, you wanna do something just to make it last, you wanna do something to remember

Daddy was a preacher, she was his wife, just tryin to make the world a little better, you know, shine a light

I hope we're asking questions 'til the day that we die, I know that age will make the answers less important with time, so when we find ourselves in wreckage like we did last night I hope you're smiling in the morning, I hope you feel alright

Ramblers in the wilderness we can’t find what we need, we get a little restless from the searching, get a little worn down in between

Bad decisions, they don't feel bad at the time, consequences, they don't always fit the crime. We might die tryin', babe, but we gon' go out ridin' high

In the fallout now it's hard to feel like we can turn around, with the damage done it's hard to see how far we've come

If you don't know just how you feel don't say those sweet things that you know I'd want to hear, if you don't know just what to think then put your thoughts away and keep them out of reach

I won't be the circus for you to star in, I won't leave you roses to watch them die. You won't be the heartache that keeps me sleepless, you won't be the songs that I could never write

Come down to the river, come and let yourself in, make good on a promise to never hurt again

Before the truth will come to fill our eyes, the wool comes down in the form of fire and when the answers and the truth have cut their ties will you still find me, will you still see me through smoke

They say this last forever, that's just what I'm afraid of, I'll never dance like this again

I left my mother feelin' sick in her bedroom, my daddy told me, "Son, you best grow up", I told my friends they can find me on the internet 'cause somehow this place just ain't enough

I promised you the world again, everything within my hands. All the riches one could dream, they will come from me

Everything stops as we look towards the clock, it feels like we're moving backwards

Shadows of greatness, yeah, it's the story of a small town, we wore the colors of our favorite little let down / the lies we told were never much, but who could keep track, enough that we all left the fire and never looked back

What do I got to do to my love to make you understand me, where do I find the piece of your heart to keep you satisfied, what do I got to do to my love to make you even notice, where do I find the words in my mouth to cut through the air tonight

I know how it started the walls that we build to separate us, make it wider, stronger, til it’s too tall for us to touch. Heaviness is on me I don’t see how we might be whole again, we might be better off in the wake of a bitter end

Ain't no gift like the present tense, ain't no love like an old romance. Got'sta make hay when the sun is shinin', can't waste time when it comes time to dance

We started out we were welcome in, we had enough when we needed it, grip all you saw in a sea of shame, run down your dream and then lose your place

I got a homesick heart but a long ways left to go, I've been doing my part but I ain't got much to show, so I'm asking you to show me some forgiveness, it's all for you in my pursuit of happiness

Trading punches with the heart of darkness, going to blows with your fear incarnate, never gone until it's stripped away, a part of you has gotta die to change

You are the moonlight in the sky that I'm pursuing, you are the reason for what I'm doing, you are the crystalline that keeps me from my ruin

Flashes of doubt that grow into rage, locked out the truth, they keep your dreams at bay, don't stand and wait for the time to come, come on, come on, catch me, we got miles to run

My arms are tired and weary, these wounds are on full display, I've tried every door in the hallway, there's just nowhere that I feel safe

First touch of summer, she's got your t-shirt on, sun's going down, schools out, stars are coming on, you can rewind it, but you can't ever feel like you do tonight, make a movie in your mind, but don't rush it, boy, you're about to see the light

I got the devil on my throat, got blood on my hands, the ones that I love are in danger, I'm a fallen man

Yeah, I know too much, I think I know my way around, too smart to feel a heartbreak now, too old to let my safeguards down

Take me out of my body, take me out of my mind, I wanna know how you made me, give me your mystical eye

White lies and desperation, ard times and conversations, no one should ever love me like You do

We can't decide if we are fallen because every single call is a chance to realize we're dependent on the fate of our circumstance

I'm gonna tear it down, all my childhood gates, I'm gonna wake up to a brand new day, I don't need another love to make me feel okay, I just need a lot of time and a little space

Your melody is like a love letter and I'm loving everything you do, your skin feels just like a rose petal, the remedy that gets me through is when I sing

Been down the broken road now, I been through that fire, there's angels holding onto both sides of the wire, I'm lacking what I need to carry you through it, stay back or get on track cause I can't have you ruin it

Give me your heart, give me your song, sing it with all your might, come to the fountain and
you can be satisfied. There is a peace, there is a love, you can get lost inside, come to the fountain and let me hear you testify

I'm in a bunker now, smoking a cigarette, I'd take my helmet off but the war's not over yet

We were in a photograph, we were in a movie scene but we were unaware it was a dream

It's dark and it's quiet in my house tonight, babies are all gone to sleep, It's hard to imagine a better life than the one I get to lead

I'm too tired to worry, oh, 'bout the way it was. I'm just trying to love you, so I don't have to clean it up

Everybody is needing answers, but I can't be the one to tell you that is true. I'm not here for your trophy case and I don't believe that I'm anything like you
