A Minute to Breathe 2019
Music and Lyrics by Gabrielle Liriano
Lyrics:
Why do we run around like we don’t know that we’re gonna die?
I’ve got a project due and I really just don’t have the time.
I guess... I can pencil you in next Wednesday a quarter to 9 that’s fine
Sometimes it feels like my life’s not mine.
Sometimes it feels like my life’s not...
 
Why do we run around like we have to do it alone?
I turn dysfunctional, but I’ve gotta prove I can do it on my own.
Momma’s been calling me, don’t have time to answer the phone.
No no Sometimes it feels like I’m incapable
Sometimes it feels like my life’s not...
 
Adequate. This good enough? What did you say? I’m written up
Laughable. unqualified. What did I do? Dissatisfied
 
Why do we run around as if bad days unjustified?
People are counting on me yet i’ve been hiding to cry
A pang of restlessness but I’m late so I shrug it by
oh no no Sometimes it feels like I’m not strong inside.
Sometimes it feels like my life’s not...
 
Adequate. This good enough? What did you say? I’m written up
Laughable. unqualified. What did I do? Dissatisfied
 
Whispers of a peace swirl around me
Missing mystery for living tragedy
I’ll get back to it next week
When all is done and i can get a minute, just a minute,
I need a minute to breathe
 
Why do we run around like we don’t know that most of its noise?
I’ll get back to love when I’m done with my shiny new toy.
Look at her media life I wish I could have that much joy
oh no no Sometimes it feels like i don’t do enough
Sometimes it feel’s like my life’s not... 

Adequate. This good enough? What did you say? I’m written up
Laughable. unqualified. What did I do? Dissatisfied
 
Whispers of a peace swirl around me
Missing mystery for living tragedy
I’ll get back to it next week
When all is done and I can get a minute, just a minute,
I need a minute to breath
A minute, Just a minute, Give me a minute,
I need a minute, Hold on a minute, Just a minute,
I need a minute to breathe
