Lyrics
Hard To Breathe
Thursday came so soon this year
Holding back and holding on.
Too many days ?tween June and here
Taking back and taking on.
All I?ve ever known has slipped me by and I feel alone
All I?ve ever shown has left me dry and far from home
All I?ve ever felt reminds me? It?s so hard sometimes to breathe.
Autumn leaves brought good this year
Thinking back and thinking on.
Winter leaves me cold I fear
Looking back and looking on.
