lyrics

And I stand half the man that I was
Clutching at my prayers
But I've found new purpose
Taking your despair

As the storm emerges,
I am teaching you to dance in the rain (In the rain)
But with your help, I can try,
To live for each day

Just breathe for me
And make me feel life
So I can survive
When nothing goes my way
I grow older
I carry the weight
Of your world on my shoulders
As I voice my thoughts from deep within
My body starts to shake
I guess there’s only so much
My brittle bones can take

As I look into your eyes
I know you feel that darkness
I've tried to hide
But maybe together
We'll rid this parasite

That grows in everyone's doubts
Especially yours and mine
We're one of the same
Built through the same design

As the storm emerges,
I am teaching you to dance in the rain
But with your help, I will try to
To live for each day

Breathe for me
And make me feel life
So I can survive
When nothing goes my way
I grow older
I carry the weight
Of your world on my shoulders
As I voice my thoughts from deep within
My body starts to shake
I guess there’s only so much
My brittle bones can take

I know that there's still life in my age
But I no longer take centre stage
I've realised your happiness is mine too
I live through you

Breathe for me
And make me feel life
So I can survive
When nothing goes my way
I grow older
I carry the weight
Of your world on my shoulders
As I voice my thoughts from deep within
My body starts to shake
I guess there’s only so much
My brittle bones can take
