"Hard To Breathe" lyrics

I saw the glimmer of a silhouette
The part of me that died had just come back
Empty visions in a parking lot
I spent my whole life lying, I just got caught
Cold and dark by the riverside
I search for answers at night I’ve got nowhere to hide
I’ve got bruises beneath these ripped up jeans, I’m tired of this old life
Where were you when I needed you the most
When it got dark and I got cold
You were never there when I got home
The streetlights sing just like a curse
You only seem to make things worse
Now it’s getting hard to breathe
The streetlights sing me fast asleep
I spent my summers catching fireflies
The part that flickered bright had just now died
My innocence stopped making sense
I’ve got no place left to hide
The streetlights sing but the flashlights won’t bring you home
Where were you when I needed you the most

They're still making music like this in 2019? Respect.

[goochasbruh]

If the entire genre could shift back to this sound that would be great. Trying to get on the radio is killing bands.

[JOKE]

Throw back to when I was an emo teen, now i'm an emo adult

[PuertoRicanBoi]

I just wish Casey was here to add those screams RIP

[squidwardtortillini]

I feel like this song is them finally finding their place as a mature, veteran level band. I feel like they struggled for so long after Casey died; trying to find their place. This song is so grown up, but still makes me feel the same way I did the first time I heard The Silence in Black and White.

Then: "It's not a phase, mom."

Now: "It's not a phase, hun..."

Good to see them still kicking after all these years!

[antille]

a new hawthorne heights song? what year is this?
oh wait, i forgot, it's twenty ninescene

[CarneAsada_]

I'm a divorced 34 years old man with two kids, a lot of bills & a dead end job. Now I'm picking up my axe & starting an emo band & will not get caught up with life shit anymore. Emo is not Dead.

[terrorizedmars]

Guys play this at your shows, don’t be scared to show the new stuff this is a great song !

[thowell]

Long time HH listener… this song to me feels a lot like their old music style and really hits me in a good spot. I hope I’m not the only one that feels this way about it

[kevinivey]

I never left the Emo scene, the Emo scene left me... glad its slowly coming back! Rawring 20's is on the horizon.

[tj]

Rip Casey ! Hawthorne heights will never be the same without you

[JBGLoL]

No way, these guys made my entire middle school to high school days and theyre still at it! I love when bands stick together throughout the years and stick to their sound. Such a throwback, love these guys.

[iamactuallyjakehill]

Grabbing my eye liner brb

Edit: no but seriously this is great and brings me way back. Glad to see you guys are still around killing it! I owe a lot to this band

[kylesershon]

Dude....this seriously has brought me back to why I started listening to Hawthorne Heights in High School! Really brought me back! Keep it up Guys!

[SchuylerPickren]

Holy shit, totally givin me "If Only You Were Lonely" vibes. Those 07-08 feels.

[boglotus]

This is throwing me back to my favorite Hawthorne Heights song… where to stab myself in the ears… I never let anyone’s shallow opinion of this band bother me because they are quite amazing and I feel sorry for people who cast their depth off. We all are the same inside… these songs never did anything except save me. Steered clear of addiction and got an art degree.. you guys are still here just like I am…

[SagHill_]

This goes out to their old guitar player Casey whom passed years ago. I know he's looking down proud that Hawthorne Heights is still going strong.

[cypresswolfe]

If any band from the 00's was going to come back, I was hoping it'd be Hawthorne Heights!

[Sally-uuyt]

Not only are they still going but they also droppin major damn this song is fire
