Alter Bridge - Breathe Lyrics






You were hungry for life
Then you took mine
Left me so hollow
And I was eager to play
So gave you all of me
For what I will never know

Well I'll rest my eyes
And I'll let the earth breathe
And I'll bide my time
I'll let the earth breathe

You wiped the smile from our face
Our saving grace
Our lasting passion
And with a knife in our side
We will arise
We will not feel it

Well I'll rest my eyes
And I'll let the earth breathe
And I'll bide my time
I'll let the earth breathe

Well it's all I am
And it makes me feel at home
And I must be mad
And I must not care at all

Well I wipe my eyes
And I feel it taking hold
Could've left me here
And it left me all alone

Well I'll rest my eyes
I'll let the earth breathe
And I'll bide my time
I'll let the earth breathe

Well I'll rest my eyes
I'll let the earth breathe
And I'll bide my time
I'll let the earth breathe

  3. c.... ....

    Holy WOW! I woke up!!!!

  4. D.... ....

    One of my fav bands ever...in my top two with Creed, of course. Same band different lead singer. Their lyrics are to be heard - they just make sense. Thank you, AB!

  5. J.... ....

    I'M LEAVING TODAY!!!

  6. H.... J....

    the solo is absolutely stunning, good lord. 3:35 - 3:59 <3

  7. D.... L....

    Listening since I was 4

  8. D.... L....

    You get me bro. It makes me so sad

  9. F.... R....

    I don't know why I can't find the live version of this song. This song is amazing!!

  10. L.... S....

    2:58 crazy vocal!!!!

    L.... S....

    Luiz Santos The more I listen to AB the more I love Myles voice

  11. Y.... Y....

    👍✌😉 bien net

  12. G.... M....

    I'd love to hear them play "Breathe again" live just one time.

    G.... M....

    Ghetto Man Maybe on a anniversary tour hopefully next year for 10 years

  13. Y.... Y....

    Superbe le petit morceau 👍

  14. J.... ....

    brasileiro do rock

  15. E.... A....

    Why is this album doesn't exist in spotify?

  16. k.... j....

    AMOOOOOO !!!!

    k.... j....

    Damn u look good

  17. R.... M....

    I'm really digging this band a lot!!! I only knew Metalingus, but this last couple days it's been Alter Bridge almost all day long!!!

    R.... M....

    Ricardo Mauricio Araya thats exactly how it went for me :) haha

  18. R.... A....

    Alter bridge isn't for everybody, people who understand music and love rock are the ones who understand every single note of AB songs and lyrics, it hurts to know people today are not bothered to listen to what we call music.

    R.... A....

    Raina Abin You're so right. AB has gotten me thru some really tough times... Love The passion Myles has and his range is incredible to say the least...And Mark Tramonti is badass Too! AB is truly an inspiration.

    R.... A....

    Right words

    R.... A....

    I listen to many different categories of music, some more than others but I just recently started getting into these guys, and I'm being serious I mean like yesterday lol. I forever thank Edge for having Metalingus as his entrance song and entertaining 4-7 year old me 😂. But as I listened to his theme song years later, when you're younger you don't see the meaning of things like this, you just like the sound. But I listened to and realized how inspirational it was, how uplifting it was, how much I really LOVED that song. So last night I got bored, hit shuffle, and it blew my mind, I LOVED IT. Can't wait to hear more of this band. Loving it so far.

    R.... A....

    thank you

    R.... A....

    Breaks my heart that I'm the only one in my friend who group who likes them. Doesn't make sense. All we can do is keep showing support.

  19. J.... C....

    what a voice...myles you rock

  20. f.... c....

    TEMAZOOOO!!!

  21. C.... ....

    Oh man these guys since the first album tht they dont stop they keep it bringing and bringing

  22. T.... C....

    Best voice ever!! The only one that could ever came close was Freddie Mercury from Queen.

    T.... C....

    Dude, no one can touch Freddie. But Myles is a close second though

    T.... C....

    Yes, Freddy's voice is unavailable to comparisons. Anyway, i love Queen and AB equally.

    T.... C....

    Haha in a world without Dio and Jorn Lande maybe...

  23. S.... R....

    thanx austin 3:16

  24. M.... ....

    Im not a big fan of these Creed-esque soft songs from Alter Bridge. I love it when they come hard with those bulldozer riffs. Bleed it Dry etc

    M.... ....

    Yeah, but, these soft songs have great meanings to them.

    M.... ....

    I agree

    M.... ....

    JablesTheRockGod Not to mention Myles is a billion times better than Scott and I love Scott

  25. J.... A....

    good lord,can Myles vocals soar any fukken higher?he could stand at the base of mt Everest and whisper and u could easily hear it at the peak!!! with the wind blowing downward no less,ha ha,Myles is currently untouchable.

  26. J.... L....

    Does anybody feel like this song and also some of the AB songs in general are a good fit for sound tracks in fantasy movies. I.e. LOTR, GOT

    J.... L....

    check out the official video to Cry Of Achilles. That explains a lot

  27. C.... S....

    Alter Bridge es sin duda la mejor banda de rock.

    C.... S....

    +Christian Spitaletta asi es compa... lml

  28. T.... ....

    such a beautiful song <3

    T.... ....

    TerranMetal Boa terran hanzo

  29. T.... J....

    LOVE IT

  30. J.... A....

    Love the guitar in 1:23-1:29

    J.... A....

    Juris Auziņš Mark makes some of the best riffs ever

  31. D.... A....

    Damn, saw AB live in Cardiff last year, no voice like Myles...the best voice in rock and roll!!

  32. B.... M....

    '' Through the suffering through the misery and pain never anything but the will to see the day when the promise might be born
    light the spark within yeah cause I can't take it anymore''. '' porque já não aguento mais'' incrível, dias melhores virão, certeza.

    B.... M....

    Virão claro! Mantem-te no curso e nada mais e esses dias virão!

  33. T.... ....

    Saw these guys in lisbon last year, the most awsome concert i ever been to

    T.... ....

    I missed tht concert shame on me!!!

    T.... ....

    I'm finally seeing them for the first time in October. I heard they're great at the American shows when it comes to meeting them after the show. I met Mark and Brian at Mark's CD signing for his first solo album but I need to meet Flip and Myles.

  34. c.... f....

    sorry ... I had to breathe. again.....

  35. m.... h....

    3:01-3:12 Truly badass.

    m.... h....

    mat hut It's actually fucking ridiculous, whenever I hear it I just start laughing, I mean cmon!!

    m.... h....

    Sérgio Miguel Reis fuck off

    m.... h....

    Sandip Gogoi Why? I was saying it in a good way, I laughed because it's so incredible.

    m.... h....

    @Sérgio Miguel Reis yeah, he's just being a dick, ignore him

    m.... h....

    mat hut 2:31 to 2:40 is my favorite part of the song

  36. S.... C....

    I can't believe how good AB are. So many great songs, they're up there with Guns, Kiss etc as one of the best American rock bands ever!

    S.... C....

    Kiss isn't very good, they're just a generic rock sound..

    S.... C....

    I think they're awesome

  37. D.... S....

    Such a great track.

  38. G.... m....

    Thanks God and The America If they weren't born , i wouldn't listen great music

  39. I.... B....

    hey u have a good ear .......

  40. F.... V....

    Em novembro, PORTUGAL!!

  41. 7.... ....

    That's one girl I wouldn't mind having sloppy seconds with lol. kidding of course.

  42. 7.... ....

    LP use to be cool, now they are sad. You can't really compare Alter Bridge to LP because LP isn't really rock music anymore and Alter Bridge is and has always been a rock band. Alter Bridge is far more talented and are much better song writers based on the musical output. It's not even close. Sorry buddy.

  43. L.... C....

    november 12 Milan!! can't wait!!

  44. T.... ....

    I hear 3:10 f3 - it's the top note of the passage, 3:12 eb1 (going through f1 to gb1 at 3:13).
    That would make 2 octaves + a major second.
    He's a great singer, but no way there are 4 octves in the timespan you mention, unless my ear is cheating me.

    T.... ....

    TheGrandBrand tends to happen when people like you act like they know everything. Be astounded and dumbfounded lol no one cares

  45. A.... M....

    I don't think that that is four octaves at all in that space of time, but I could be wrong. He's an amazing singer though!

  46. C.... E....

    What. The. Fuck... Well, your username explains it :P

  47. S.... ....

    Please Dont compare legend to some weakling! i used to like LP too they were the first Ever Rock band i listened to. However they changed from rock to some random Techno crap! -.- they betrayed Rock so i betrayed them! -.- Basically dont dare Say They are Better than a Rock Band! Better than Mark Tremonti at Guitar Better than Myles Kennedy at singing! -.- it would be foolish!

  48. S.... C....

    YOU MADE MY DAY ROLF !

  49. T.... C....

    Two different types of rock music man... I love AB a bit more and I'm a big Linkin Park fan.

  50. T.... C....

    If Alter Bridge was a girl, I'd nail her so hard.

  51. c.... ....

    you're Just some guy with a bad taste in music.

  52. S.... M....

    A homeless dyslexic autistic human rooster hybrid creature trying to scream "good morning vietnam!!!" is better than linkin park -_-

  53. M.... A....

    They really are.

  54. C.... ....

    Actually it's octaves, lol

  55. P.... S....

    not octaves, quints, but still fucking awesome!!

  56. H.... M....

    I heard that you just made my flippin day! :D

  57. M.... ....

    i know thats what im saying, dude myles kennedy and slash are like god and jesus to me. im saying that if they think that linkin park is better than AB then their not allowed to listen to AB cuz theyre not worthy.

  58. D.... ....

    Seriously? Omg... This world is weird.

  59. M.... C....

    thats the lamest comment ive seen on youtube yet... Alterbridge are MYLES better than linkin park...as much as i like linkin park they are not better than alterbridge

  60. C.... p....

    I heard mark tremonti doesnt use a guitar, its actually a shapeshifter of chuck norris

  61. P.... P....

    alter bridge !!!! my favorite band and even had the honor of getting a photo pass to photograph them on the carnival of madness tour 2011 :)) nothing like standing 2 feet away from myles kennedy singing :))))

  62. P.... P....

    the lyrics are "where I'm free to breathe again" not "we're afraid to breathe again" :)) makes better sense too :p

  63. M.... ....

    you are not allowed to listen to alter bridge then! FACT! {bitch}

  64. A.... D....

    OPINION!!!! That is what you think. I don't think that and I know plenty of people who will agree with you and disagree with you.
    A fact is a true statement that will always be true no matter what
    An opinion is what you think!.

  65. m.... v....

    everyone is different creatively there is no "better" when it comes to creativity :)

  66. D.... F....

    2:41 - 3:12
    Pure Beauty

  67. F.... M....

    The Intro: Whatch over you. D:

  68. P.... G....

    Such a good song! :D

  69. R.... ....

    porqué me tratas así? D;

  70. R.... ....

    hay, pero aquí no amor ;_;

  71. R.... ....

    hola :D vengo a romperte las bolas comentandote :D

  72. d.... h....

    find faith and envelope it.

  73. D.... L....

    I cannot, I repeat CANNOT listen to this song without breaking down in tears...it speaks to me on a high level, and it's what I'm experiencing at this transitional time in my life...:)

  74. j.... ....

    Of all the albums I bought lately, this one and Van Halens 'Different Kind Of Truth' are my favourite ones. I'm really happy with those two. Rock on!

  75. d.... h....

    annunaki like this

  76. c.... ....

    Listen to the 2 songs he di with Slash, I believe they are Starlight and Back from Cali, awesome Feat.

  77. z.... ....

    dang! Myles Kennedy has a great range... i couldn't believe he kept going higher when singing "my way"!

  78. G.... T....

    @14alterbridge Much easier that they coming to Chile, I'll be waiting here for them, someday they'll come haha

  79. J.... C....

    @alivias you are right i didn't know this band until i came mature enough to listen closely to the lyrics and the sound. Now Alter Bridge is my favorite band and i bought most of their song on itunes (9 cents a song is cheap) and now im starting to buy every album they are making and waiting for All I Was from Mark Tremonti. like alivias comments it really do helps the band..

  80. C.... S....

    @alivias Fuck you bitch. Free shit FTW!!!!

  81. C.... ....

    How can a song Rock in such a way and be beautiful at the same time ?

  82. D.... C....

    TFK is as good as these guys, and are just like illnifan121091 said, are caring.

  83. M.... S....

    my favorite band no doubt about it. everything heartfelt and kicks into the heavy side just the way it should be. they keeping music alive for me, AB forever

  84. C.... ....

    Love Alter Bridge Music! No one better than Alter Bridge in my mind at this time! Great words, lyrics, and phrasing of music! I love the music in studio form, Live, and Acoustic !

  85. C.... ....

    @illinifan121091 I agree whole heartily about Myles, Mark, Scott and Bryan of Alter Bridge! It's about the music, word, lyrics and phrasing of the music! Todd Rundgren was like this and in the same ways his music is finally being appreciated.
    Songs like Fidelity-Love is the Answer-Can We Still Be Friends-Parallel Lines-Just One Victory-Hello it's me-Compassion-I Saw the Light-A Dream Goes on Forever-It Wouldn't Have Made any Difference, and more...! All his songs had meaning! .

  86. F.... A....

    Come to Canada pleaseeeeeee.

  87. T.... ....

    spettacolare!

  88. M.... ....

    @alivias whatever artists miss out from illegal downloading they gain from touring USA and the UK

  89. a.... ....

    mk
    Myles Kennedy

  90. a.... m....

    this song is a peace maker to the world

  91. H.... ....

    Found this band a few days ago and they're absolutely amazing! I just hope people stumble upon or get showed this band. They deserve a bigger fanbase :)

  92. E.... ....

    @alivias I bought mine. Definitely worth it. No point downloading leaked versions! Let AB hit those charts!

  93. a.... ....

    @SLav15 I usually download songs but when it comes to Alter Bridge, Creed or any of the band member's, you bettter believe I'll buy it! It's nice to see Alter Bridge finally getting the recognition they deserve. These guys should be selling out arenas at this point. I'm sure they will get there, they are one of the best bands that have come out in awhile.

  94. D.... H....

    I have played the part, I have all but lost my soul.
    And I have sacrificed, for what it's worth, I just don't know.
    In the silence of my heart there is a distant call, yeah.
    It beckons me to stand apart.

    So I set out on my own just to breathe again,
    touch the light that calls me home just to reach the end,
    where I'm free to breathe again.

  95. t.... F....

    goddammit man 3:05 that guy gets up there dude. helllla high

  96. a.... s....

    Respond to this video... yay

  97. a.... s....

    @LukusThomas yay :D

  98. S.... L....

    @alivias I bought all there CDs and I will buy all there next CD's. True that peopleshould buy CD's instead of downloading free. If you like a band you should buy there music, not download it with torrents.
