Donna Valentine songs
This song was the brain-child of Jen Mangum (dreamseeker). Jen and Blake- you guys did some seriously great lyric writing here! It was a pleasure to put music to- the music just flowed!

I Can't Breathe For You

You can't stand the sun
Don't care for the moon
You can't take the mornings
Don't like the afternoon
You hate to go to work
And complain when you come home
You don't want me near you
Or for me to leave you alone
You're always lost and need to be found
It's like your drowning and pulling me down

Chorus)
But I can't breathe for you
If you don't want to live
You can't be rescued
I've given all that I can give
I've tried to be your everything
But there's one thing I can’t do
I'm running out of breath
I can't breathe for you
I can’t breathe for you
I can’t be myself
It’s never good enough
If I start to cry
You say just toughen up
You want me to be one way
Then tell me I have to change
I can't win with you
It'll always be that way
T
T
he honest truth is you hate yourself
And you turn to me when you need help
Chorus
Bridge
I
I
ts time to come up for air
Before I sink into your despair
Chorus 2
I can't breathe for you
It's time for me to live
You can't be rescued
I've got nothing else to give
I've tried to be your everything
That's something I can’t do
I
I
'm taking my own breath
So I can't breathe for you
I can’t breathe for you
I can't breathe for you
