Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's not the kind of girl
Who likes to tell the world
About the way she feels about herself
[Verse 2]
She takes a little time
In making up her mind
She doesn't want to fight against the tides
[Verse 3]
Lately, I'm not the only one
I say, never trust anyone
Always the one who has to drag her down
Baby, you'll get what you want this time around
[Verse 4]
Can't bear to face the truth
So sick you cannot move
And when it hurts, he takes it out on you
[Verse 5]
Lately, I'm not the only one
I say, never trust anyone
Always the one who has to drag her down
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
Baby, you'll get what you want this time around
(Do-do-do-do-do)
[Verse 6]
The trick is to keep breathing
The trick is to keep breathing
[Verse 7]
She knows the human heart
And how to read the stars
Now everything's about to fall apart
[Verse 8]
I won't be the one who's going to let you down
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
Baby, you'll get what you want this time around
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
[Verse 9]
(The trick is to keep breathing)
I won't be the one who's going to let you down
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
(The trick is to keep breathing)
Baby, you'll get what you want this time around
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
[Verse 10]
The trick is to keep breathing
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
The trick is to keep breathing
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
The trick is to keep breathing
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
The trick is to keep breathing
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
The trick is to keep breathing
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
The trick is to keep breathing
(Do-do-do-do, do-do-do)
The trick is to keep breathing
