Nerina Pallot - Learning to breathe

Oh, this road is long
This road is wide
It takes more than
Luck to last the ride

It takes strenght 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 want to be the last
I don't want to be the first
Don't want to be alone with
My thoughts tomorrow

And I don't want to be afraid
Don't want to look away
I'm learning to breathe

No I don't want to be the last
I don't want to 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 want to be the last
I don't want to be the first
Don't want to be alone with
My thoughts tomorrow

And I don't want to be afraid
Don't want to look away
I'm learning to breathe

No I don't want to be the last
I don't want to 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

Oh, do you still feel small?
Just a peck of live on an ocean wave
Does it pull us all?
Does it pull us all?

So I don't want to be the last
I don't want to be the first
Don't want to be alone with
My thoughts tomorrow

And I don't want to be afraid
Don't want to look away
I'm learning to breathe

No I don't want to be the last
I don't want to 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

I'm learning to breathe on my own...
I'm learning to breathe on my own...
