Breathe Lyrics

Take this bloody war of mine away
I'm lost for words to say
Will they greet me at dawn

Take these muddy thoughts that are my walls
I'm not ready for the call
That will greet me at dawn

I just take what someone wants
Race when I'm in front
Break what i don't need
It's nice to watch somebody breathe, for me
I am tired of my own

Well now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
And I thank you very much
And I'm flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me

And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company
Won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

Race me to the horror at the end
I've lost myself again
In the mirror of my past

Let me, let me scratch at my own skin
I'm dying to get in
To the mirror of my past

I just take what someone wants
Race when I'm in front
Break what I don't need
It's nice to watch somebody breathe, for me
I am tired of my own

Well now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
And I'll thank you very much
And I'm flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me

And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company
Won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

And won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

Well now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
And I'll thank you very much
And I'm flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me

And I sat here for eternity
No Wife and no family
Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company

And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Been wasting time like it just
Doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company

Won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

And won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

James Blunt (born James Hillier Blount, 22 February 1974) is an English singer/songwriter whose debut album, Back to Bedlam, and single releases — especially the number one hit "You're Beautiful" — brought him to fame in 2005. He was born in Tidworth, Wiltshire, United Kingdom. His style is a mix of pop, rock and folk. Along with vocals, Blunt plays a wide variety of instruments including the piano, guitar, organ, marimba, and mellotron.

Blunt was educated at Elstree School, Woolhampton, then Harrow School (where he received his nickname 'Blunty'), and finally the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Before the release of his album, Blunt was a commissioned officer in the British Army, rose to the rank of Captain and served as a NATO peacekeeper in Kosovo. He was also on duty for the funeral of the Queen Mother on 9th April, 2002.

He is currently signed to Linda Perry's American label Custard, and became the first British artist to top the American singles chart in nearly a decade when his first single from Back to Bedlam, "You're Beautiful", reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006. The last British artist to do so had been Elton John in 1997 with the song Candle in the Wind.

His second album, All The Lost Souls, was released on 17th September 2007.

His third album, Some Kind of Trouble, was released on 8th November 2010.
