This song is becoming more and more like me. The lyrics are very similar to my own life itself. It just kinda got me. I love Dallas Green and City and Colour.

SONG: Em / C / G / G/F#

I awoke only to find my lungs empty
and through the night tho it seems I'm not breathing
and now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
and I'm breaking down
I think I'm breaking down

I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me
such as living with the uncertainty
that I'll never find the words to say
which would completely explain
Just how I'm breaking down

Someone come and someone come and save my life
maybe I'll sleep when I am dead but now it's like the night is taking sides
and all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
could it be this misery will suffice?

I've become a simple souvenir of someone's kill
and like the sea I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide will swallow me whole
oh how I'm breaking down

@invujerry Most people here would say you spell "color" wrong.

@LalaD70 Acoustics are great in a tiled bathroom, nothing soft to absorb sound.

Also , it's probably more soundproof, as she probably had next-door-hotel-mates.

There is not enough girl like this in the world. My favorite song of city and colour played by the girl I want to marry xD! Isn't it the best combo ever?

[ferrarimk13]

What kinda guitar is that? I would love a white acoustic!

Great cover Sarah. It seems like here and there, real music is starting to make a comeback! If anyone's interested, please check out my band from Collingwood, Ontario on my channel.

@LalaD70 Bathrooms are notorious for having good acoustics, because of the tile I'm guessing! A lot of video artists record their songs in bathrooms.

@reicher89 that's the way it's spelt in canada :D
