Here's one I wrote with my friend Phil Kimbrough. We had a great time writing together and there will be more to come.
She Can't Breathe
(Phil Kimbrough / Bryan Clark)
Verse:
Jaine is a modern girl
Caught living in a trailer world
Hanging clothes underneath a neon sign
She knows her life has gone off-track
Too proud to trace it back
Everything feels like a waste of time
Pre-Chorus
And she can never catch her breath in the burning daylight
Chorus:
She can't breathe unless she’s dreaming
She can't dream when she's afraid of the fall
And if she falls she knows she'll wind up in pieces
With no hope at all
She can't breathe
Verse 2:
He promised her he'd be by her side
Hope as high that city skyline
When he left it all came crashing down
She can't think about a new start
Paying mortgage on a broken heart
Nothing’s left when next month comes around
Pre-Chorus
And she can never catch her breath in the burning daylight
Chorus:
Repeat
Breakdown:
There’s got to be a way out of this burning daylight
Chorus:
Repeat
Outro:
15 miles off interstate 1
A woman's work is never done
She can’t breathe
It seems like she’s always a step behind
Looking at that city skyline
She can’t breathe
