Bleed To Breathe Again

[Verse 1]
Running through the wreckage
Heart still hot from yesterday
Every scar a little lesson
Every bruise another page
You left me in the crossfire
Tears burning like a brand
Thought the hurt would be my ending
But it taught me how to stand
[Pre-Chorus]
I was begging you to see me
Breaking just to keep you safe
Bending till my bones were screaming
Just to make it through the day
[Chorus]
I bleed to breathe again
Hurt just to feel again
Get knocked down
I rise and then
I live to please another day (another day)
I crash
I crawl
I mend
Lose just to learn again
If this is what the fire takes
I’ll burn
Survive
And stay
To please another day
[Verse 2]
Fast track through the heartache
Didn’t get a second glance
You were busy counting fault lines
I was fighting for a chance
Now I’m dancing with the damage
Turning ashes into gold
Every heartbreak in my history
Is a story getting told
[Pre-Chorus]
I was begging you to need me
Chasing every step you traced
Now I’m running past the bleeding
Letting all that poison waste
[Chorus]
I bleed to breathe again
Hurt just to feel again
Get knocked down
I rise and then
I live to please another day (oh, another day)
I crash
I crawl
I mend
Lose just to learn again
If this is what the fire takes
I’ll burn
Survive
And stay
To please another day
[Bridge]
You can take the love I gave
You can keep the lies you saved
But you can’t erase this flame
I’m still here
I stayed
I stayed
Every tear I didn’t waste
Put that power in my veins
I’m the storm you couldn’t tame
I’m the one who walked away (hey!)
[Chorus]
I bleed to breathe again
Hurt just to feel again
Get knocked down
I rise and then
I live to please another day
I crash
I crawl
I mend
Lose just to learn again
If this is what the fire takes
I’ll burn
Survive
And stay
To please another day
To please another day

pop, Up-tempo soul-pop/R&B with crisp drums and rubbery bass, bright electric piano comps, and a tight rhythm guitar driving the pocket. Verses stay urgent and syncopated, pre-chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and rising pads, chorus explodes with big gospel-tinged ad-libs and punchy brass stabs. Energy arc: sprinting from the first bar, small dynamic dip on the bridge, then a final chorus that feels triumphant and cathartic. Male or female vocals, agile runs but focused on clear, emotional delivery., r&b, soul
