Breathe in, breathe out

Ilse DeLange


Five hundred and nine black sheep slowly jump over me
As soon as I try to get you of my mind I fail
Another dreamless night watching the moon cross the sky
Cursing the sun 'cause I know it has won again
Oh, I breathe in, breathe out
And I'm stuck in those shadowed doubts
I'm feeling my way
So tired of seeing blind
But I breathe in, breathe out
There's nothing I can do now
Breathe in, breathe out

I'm raising my white flag high
I surrender myself though I'm not sure why
And I hate being wrong and I never let on when I am
But I'd rather lose my pride than to lose you as mine
And I don't like to beg but I'm down on my knees this time
Oh, I breathe in, breathe out
And I'm stuck in those shadowed doubts
I'm feeling my way
So tired of seeing blind
But I breathe in, breathe out
There's nothing I can do now
But breathe in, breathe out

Oh, why am I so stubborn for the sake of it
I bet I'd try to catch and tame the wind
And all the while I know that you would take me back
What's wrong with that?
Oh, I breathe in, breathe out
Oh, I breathe in, breathe out

I'm feeling my way
So tired of seeing blind
But I breathe in, breathe out
Yeah, I breathe in
Five hundred and nine black sheep slowly jump over me
