I brought you something close to me
Left for something you see though you're here
You haunt my dreams
There's nothing to do but believe
Just believe
Just breathe

Another day, just believe,
Another day, just breathe
Another day, just believe
Another day, just breathe

I'm used to it by now
Another day, just believe
Just breathe
Just believe
Just breathe
Lying in my bed
Another day, staring at the ceiling

Just breathe
Another day
Another day, just believe
Another day
I'm used to it by now
I'm used to it by now
Just breathe
