I Breathe In, I Breathe Out

Twang strains floated through her radio and Harmony gave an exaggerated sigh as she stared at her collection of porcelain unicorns and fell back onto the bed.  The frilly, pink, yet evil Vampire bed.  Tears slipped down her face as she thought of her Blondie Bear.  He's probably moping over her right now, she decided, and turned up the radio because she was definitely not moping over him.  Unfortunately the radio didn't help much - it was country, the music of love and heartbreak.

Lately I've been runnin' into our old friends

Spikes minions... ex-minions, keep coming to me in search of guidance.  They needed a powerful leader - like me.  Not chips ahoy boy.


Somewhere in the small talk
Someone always asks where you've been

They always whine about wanted the old big bad back.  Like I can't be the big bad!


So I tell 'em what you told me

It was all his fault.

And they can't believe we're through

He tried to stake me!


They ask me what I'm doing now

Very, very evil things that I don't need his help for!


And in case you're wondering too

I wish I knew what he was doing...

I breathe in, I breathe out
Put one foot in front of the other
Take one day at a time
Until you find I'm that someone you can't live without
But until then, I'll breathe in, and breathe out

If only Vampires breathed...

Now, I've got every reason
To find someone new

I'm still a hot, young corpse!


'Cause you swore up and down to me
That I've seen the last of you

He was never seeing this again.  Unless I pass him on the street or like something.

But the way that you loved me
Left me hopin' and holdin' on

He kept leading me on!


So until this world stops turnin' round

Or I'm dust.


And my heart believes that you're gone

He's always in my heart…

I'll breathe in and breathe out
Put one foot in front of the other
Take one day at a time
Till you find I'm that someone you can't live without
But until then, Ill breathe in, and breathe out

He can't live without me!

Yes, we were meant to be
Girl there's no doubt

We're soul mates!


And if it takes the rest of my life
For you to figure it out

I'll wait for like weeks!

I'll breathe in and breathe out
Put one foot in front of the other
Take one day at a time
Until you find I'm that someone you can't live without

I can't possibly go through unlife without him..


But until then, Oh, I'll breathe in, and breathe out

Without my Blondie Bear...

Author's Follow-up:  I love Harmony!  Great, funny character.  So, thats's my tribute!
