Lyrics and Vocals by Chloe Borthwick, 15, New York
I can't take it
You shoot at me like I'm a target
And breathing gets so hard to do
When your atmosphere becomes so cruel
CHORUS
But I can hardly breathe
This air is so contagious
But I can hardly breathe
This wind is too outrageous
to inhale into me
I can't help it
You smack me down til I'm helpless
And breathing gets so hard to do
When the air around you becomes so subdued
CHORUS
But I can hardly breathe
This air is so contagious
But I can hardly breathe
This wind is too outrageous
to inhale into me
When everything is done
And every battle's won
Each side of my world becomes undone
The carbon dioxide lurks in my lungs, whoa
Don't know what to do, don't know what to do, when
CHORUS
I can hardly breathe
This air is so contagious
I can hardly breathe
This air is so contagious
I can hardly breathe
This wind is too outrageous
to inhale into me
