[Verse 1]
You took the softest parts of me,
Held them like something you could break easily.
Every time I tried to step forward lightly,
You pulled me back into your toxic waves til I lost stability.
Through the darkness of your hollow shadow,
Through every lie you’d recreate to make me obey and follow.
In your grasp, I was left to hold my breath until I began to suffocate.
I screamed for mercy but no one could hear me because the mask you wore made me look like the one who was crazy.
But then Allah whispered to my heart when I began to lose faith,
“Sophia rise baby… this here isn’t your fate.”
[Pre-Chorus]
You tried to turn my every fear into truth,
Tried to make me doubt my view…
When I took my strength back, you crumbled at the sight of me standing up to you.
You thought walking out would get me to collapse, but you were left shocked because this time I didn't chase you.
Instead, I found a beautiful peace as I released from the trauma you put me and my babies through.
Gone are my feelings, I am done being the supply for you.....
Allah kept a lantern in my soul that no matter how hard you tried to dim it, it stayed lit,
And the day I finally saw through you, I awakened.
[Chorus]
Now I can breathe again…
My chest feels light again…
No more restrictions, no more reactions.
Say what you may I'm unbothered and not listening.
I walked out of your fire still glowing,
With Allah’s mercy for me overflowing…
You were the weight I had to lay to rest,
Now “HOO” carries my every breath…
No more chains left around my heart—
because I found my peace with Allah.
Ooh… I can breathe again.
(Soft whisper: Bismillah)
[Verse 2]
You covered up control in concern,
Called your anger and temper "love returned."
But the truth kept getting louder,
’Til Allah pulled me up from your drowning waters.
You wanted me small, invisible, at your beck and call, trembling, low—
Because you feared Allah would heal me and help me grow.
Patience now shapes the strength I hold,
And my dignity and honor stay unshakably whole.
[Pre-Chorus]
You thought you shattered the good in me at took every piece of my spirit,
But Allah gathered every single one…
Held them gently in His Rahmah,
And returned me to myself once you were gone.
Chorus]
Now I can breathe again…
My chest feels light again…
No more restrictions, no more reactions.
Say what you may I'm unbothered and not listening.
I walked out of your fire still glowing,
With Allah’s mercy for me overflowing…
You were the weight I had to lay to rest,
Now “HOO” carries my every breath…
No more chains left around my heart—
because I found my peace with Allah.
Ooh… I can breathe again.
[Bridge – airy harmonies]
I don’t hate you—just done with all of the hurt.
You were a lesson I needed to learn.
SubhanAllah… I’m grateful still,
Not for pain, but for what it taught my will.
My soul bows only to the One
Who never breaks what He makes whole.
[Final Chorus]
Now I can breathe again…
A heart once broken is becoming whole again
