Molly Kate Kestner - Harder To Breathe Lyrics






She is the one
with the beautiful face.
The one who never
Shows a single trace
of imperfection.

And she's the one
with a hunger inside
the one who stands
In front a mirror of lies
A false reflection

I see your eyes they try to disguise the lies that you've hid in your mind.

Listen to me
I know it's getting
harder to breathe
But things aren't
Always dark as they seem
It gets better
It gets better

He is the one
With the looks and the title
The one who you thought
Had it all but tonight he'll
Cry himself to sleep

Cuz he is the one
Who put a note on his bed
Cuz his mind tells him things
Like "you're better off dead"
If only he could see

I see your eyes they try to disguise the lies that you've hid in your mind.

Listen to me
I know it's getting
harder to breathe
But things aren't
Always dark as they seem
It gets better
It gets better

So please don't let go
You don't have to do this alone
Darling I just want you know
It gets better
It gets better

Don't give up now
you've come so far
from where you were
and where you are
may seem too dark
to find your way out but
follow my voice and
I'll lead you back to the light.
Cuz the night is always darkest before morning...

So listen to me.
I know it's getting
harder to breathe
But things aren't always
Dark as they seem
It gets better
It gets better

Put down the razor
The bottle
The gun
Forget the lies
And you've already won
It gets better, I promise it gets better and when it does
You'll be the light to someone
Just like you.
So listen. And please don't forget.
Someone loves you
& you aren't finished yet.

Molly Kate Kestner Harder To Breathe Comments
  1. C.... S....

    I've been dealing with depression and anxiety for almost 9 years and it took over my life. I was completely alone all those years and my mother gave up on me. I've finally met the man of my dreams in America and I'm scared I'm not good enough and just wanna be there for him always. Is there any advice you can give me?

  2. A.... A....

    You are truly an amazing musician!!!!!

    This song touched me in a way that I never thought anything could.
    You have no idea how much this song means to me, even though I just heard about it a few minutes ago.
    Thank you so much for posting this, this one song has literally just changed my life.

    I want this song soooo badly on spotify.

  23. M.... ....

    Please please please please upload this to Spotify!!! 😭😭😭

  24. N.... T....

    I remember clicking on this video, a couple years ago. I've gone through a lot in my life, and I know I'm not the only one. I'm trying to move forward. I've accepted my past... But the thing is, you can never, "Get over," your past. And this song always brings me the hope, that I need, to keep surviving. To get me to wake up every morning and get out of bed.

    I suffer every day with, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental illnesses.

    People say, "You're a survivor, once you stop talking about it."

    But that's the thing. You're called a survivor, because you experienced something so traumatic. You're called a survivor, because you are still breathing. But that doesn't mean that you are alive. It means that you are just surviving...

    I guess what I'm trying to say is, I know I'm not alone. But neither are you....

  25. A.... R....

    Each time I thought about self-harm, relapsing into my mental health issues, or having suicidal thoughts, I come to this song. Molly Kate Kestner is the only reminder I have to not give up and that things do get better

  26. M.... A....

    See, words are not enough and that's why yout music exists. Despite all the writing I do I don't know what to say, this is a masterpiece. Thank you.

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

    Oh I forgot that I can't press like twice XD

  28. S.... S....

    You helped me through some of the toughest times in my life. Your songs inspire me every day to keep going and that everything is going to be okay, even if everything goes wrong at this exact moment. Thank you for giving me strength and hope. I'm really grateful for your music. Thank you so so much.

  29. M.... H....

    I have suicidal thoughts and I cut and this song really touched me... I'm getting better though

  30. A.... W....

    Listened to this song three years ago but the lyrics didn't really affect me, like they have just now. brilliant song!!

  31. S.... M....

    Some1 loves u <3

  32. C.... E....

  33. y.... ....

    2018?
    Goosebumps all over, I used to listen to you a lot years ago and I'm so glad that I have found you again. You deserve the recognition you are just now receiving.

  34. N.... C....

    Does anyone know the cords for this?
    I love it

  35. K.... L....

    Me: *Tears roll down my check*
    My Bestie: "Why are you crying?"
    Me: "I am not crying, I just got something in my eyes after hearing the most beautiful girl sing a song that relates to me n every way!"

  36. N.... N....

    You're full of light and love. Keep it up girl ❤❤❤ You're an amazing person

  37. S.... G....

    Your not putting yourself into the song...have the voice..needs some work...feels like your forcing it to come out on note...feel it within and express it...think of what the words mean and your really singing it to someone...your just imitating with emphasis on getting the notes and tune exact...(it gets better...) you where forcing it out and your expression doesn't fit the words because your not feeling the meaning...the emotion...you can have a voice but expressing it is the art...the special individual person that sings ...

  38. K.... T....

    So beautiful! I am subscribing ❤️

  39. D.... ....

    This is the only other song that has the ability to bring me to tears. I heard his daughter(my now favorite song) in pandora and when i looked it up on youtube i found you, and you are officially my favorite singer\ songwriter ever. Thank you.

  40. F.... O....

    I always go back to this song when I want to give up on everything. Thank you so much for being such a beautiful, humble person. xx

  41. a.... l....

    This is the most amazing song I have ever heard!

  42. S.... S....

    I HIDE EVERYTHING!

  43. K.... H....

    I really needed to hear this today, I have been going through a lot. And I really don't know how to handle it. The last few days I have been having suicidal thoughts, but I don't want to go through with anything bc ik it will cause even worse things for my family and I don't want to do that. I just want to stop hurting and this song literally made me cry, which I needed to do so bad.

  44. E.... S....
