NERINA PALLOT - Learning To Breathe lyrics

Oh, this road is long, this road is wide

It takes more than luck to last the ride

It takes strength and it takes courage to survive

And did someone ever say to you

"There's nothing bound in thought you cannot do?"

Well, I've seen some things but not all of them came true

So I don't wanna be the last, I don't wanna be the first

Don't wanna be alone with my thoughts tomorrow

And I don't wanna be afraid, don't wanna look away

I'm learning to breathe

No, I don't wanna be the last, I don't wanna be the first

I just need a hope and a light to follow

Like sailors look to stars to find their way home

I'm learning to breathe on my own

And I know a man who lost his wife

This is the way he chooses to describe his life

He says, "If I think too much, I find there's just a hole"

But before she went, she left a son

He says, "Dad, you're not the only one

Maybe love is just a requiem for the soul"

So I don't wanna be the last, I don't wanna be the first

Don't wanna be alone with my thoughts tomorrow

And I don't wanna be afraid, don't wanna look away

I'm learning to breathe

No, I don't wanna be the last, I don't wanna be the first

I just need a hope and a light to follow

Like sailors look to stars to find their way home

I'm learning to breathe on my own

Do you still feel small?

Just a speck of life on an ocean wave

Does it pull us all?

Does it pull us all?

So I don't wanna be the last, I don't wanna be the first

Don't wanna be alone with my thoughts tomorrow

And I don't wanna be afraid, don't wanna look away

I'm learning to breathe

No, I don't wanna be the last, I don't wanna be the first

I just need a hope and a light to follow

Like sailors look to stars to find their way home

I'm learning to breathe on my own
