Mary Collins - Breathe

You're in the words I write
You're in the sky I scan for the smog
I think of the day you'll come to be
You're in the fights we fight
You're in the signs we wave from the crowd
But I wouldn't wish that on anyone
I'm sorry for the things we should've done
Like making this a place where you could live at peace
With the trees and mountains
But I would plant a garden in the middle of the night to help you breathe
How can I tell you why
How can I say we all did our best
When I don't always even try
And if you could see me now
You wouldn't trust my sense of regret
But I can feel it rising
Will we find our way before we lose it to the water
Will there be enough that anyone can have a son or daughter
Is there any chance you'll hear this
Or that you could understand
Or are you only in my head
Is this only in my head
I'm sorry for the things we should've done
Like making this a place where you could live at peace
With the trees and mountains
But I would plant a garden in the middle of the night
I would give my bones up to the morning light
I would leave myself behind so you could breathe
