I'm running out of patients 'cause I can't believe what the hell I'm hearing And speaking of hell It don't compare to this heat That I am feeling I love you too much It shows All my emotions go Out of control oh whoa whoa Good for you bad for me When I can hardly see From the tears that flow oh whoa Can't forget to breathe slow Count from one to ten With my eyes closed 'cause ladies take it in And get comp- oh oh oh 'sure Before I lose it get comp- oh oh oh 'sure I am gunna breathe slow Count from one to ten With my eyes closed 'cause ladies take it in And get comp- oh oh oh 'sure Ladies never lose comp- oh oh oh 'sure Not guuna lie Or even try You've got my wheel spinning And I ain't the one to show The gun 'cause that means you will be Winning oh yeah I love you too much It shows All my emotions go Out of control oh whoa whoa Good for you bad for me When I can hardly see From the tears that flow oh whoa Ooh oh ooh Can't forget to breathe slow Count from one to ten With my eyes closed 'cause ladies take it in And get comp- oh oh oh 'sure Before I lose it get comp- oh oh oh 'sure I am gunna breathe slow Count from one to ten With my eyes closed 'cause ladies take it in And get comp- oh oh oh 'sure Ladies never lose comp- oh oh oh 'sure Somebody better hold me back You're lucky I know how to act (so lucky ain't gunna attack) I'm being calm and cool But believe me you It's taking everything to just Breathe breathe breathe...

Meaning of Breathe Slow

“Breathe Slow” captures a desperate struggle against overwhelming emotion, fueled by intense love and spiraling out of control. The artist is battling a torrent of feelings – “emotions go / Out of control oh whoa whoa,” triggered by someone’s actions (“You've got my wheel spinning”) that threaten to completely consume her. She seeks refuge in a methodical, almost primal act: counting to ten with eyes closed, urging herself to “breathe slow.” This isn’t just about calming down; it’s a conscious effort to regain control before she loses herself entirely, admitting, "It's taking everything to just / Breathe breathe breathe…” The repeated instruction – “Can’t forget to breathe slow” – underscores the fragility of her composure and highlights a plea for stability amidst chaotic feelings. It’s a raw portrayal of vulnerability and the desperate need to find an anchor when love threatens to drown you.
