Lyrics of And I Breathe by Original Cast Recording feat. Jay Armstrong Johnson
So I promised her I′d quit, yeah this time for real
She didn't make me. I just offered . Hey, it′s no big deal
So that's it. I'm done. No turning back.
But I really should finish up this pack.
I could quit if I want. That′s what it′s really about.
So take the cellophane off and pull a cigarette out.
And I breathe and I hold it in 'till I feel that tingle ′neath my skin.
And I have to smoke it now because it's lit.
Then I put it out. I′m done. I'm good. I quit.
So I don′t smoke for a while. Yeah that's good for me.
Then I start to bite my nails and lightly bounce my knee.
I mean I smoked for then whole years before.
Would it kill me to have only just one more?
So I'll have another then I swear that′s it.
I get my cigarette out and my lighter lit. And I breathe.
And my vision clears. And that itch inside here disappears.
And I have to smoke it all, it′s my last one.
Then I put it out. I quit. I'm good. I′m done.
I'm gonna quit, that′s for sure. I'm gonna quit because of her.
I′m gonna quit, it won't be hard. I'll throw this pack out of my yard...
Right after I have another. And maybe one more on a second thought.
Oh man. I′m gonna miss this a lot.
And how dare she claim it′s not for her I'm quitting for.
It′s for us. How can that be? It's for us?
Well it′s not for me. So I'll have one more. Just one more.
But one more is one more, and more and more and more and more.
So I′m gotta let'em go. Man I'll really miss you guys.
But there′s one thing I know for real.
I can′t go home and see those eyes.
When she just breathes. Just a little sigh.
That is all I need to wonder why I couldn't up and quit a day ago
I didn′t think I'd still be smoking when I was twenty eight years old.
But it′s amazing how this tiny little bastards take their hold.
And why can't my god damn body just do what it′s frickin' told?
So the next time I feel the itch.
And my little finger starts to twitch.
And the feeling starts to roll at me like a fucking bus.
I'll just breathe.
Not for me.
Not for her.
But for us.
