Verse 1
I’m starin’ at the ceilin’, askin’ God if I’m still breathin’
Walls are closin’ in and I can’t stop this feelin’
Clock hands movin’ but my time feels stolen
Mmmmmm… mmm-mmm-mmm…
⸻
Pre-Chorus (building)
Every whisper in the night sounds like your name
Every prayer I send up feels lost in the rain
I’m breakin’ but I’m holdin’, no one’s seein’
Mmmmmm… mmm-mmm-mmm…
⸻
Chorus (soaring, UK accent, stretched words)
Mmmmmm (mmm-mmm-mmm) I’m still breathin’…
Cryin’ out but no one’s hearin’…
All these scars I keep concealin’…
Can’t escape this empty feelin’…
I’m staaaaaring at the ceeeiling (mmm-mmm-mmm)
Aaaasking God if I’m still breeeeathin’
Oooh, can you hear me? Ooooh, can you save me?
Mmmmmm… mmm-mmm-mmm…
⸻
Verse 2
Streetlights flicker through my window pane
Memories of us like a ghostly chain
Every thought of you just pulls me deeper
Mmmmmm… mmm-mmm-mmm…

Pre-Chorus
I wrote my pain in shadows on the wall
But no one reads the writing at all
I’m fightin’ but I’m losin’, barely breathin’
Mmmmmm… mmm-mmm-mmm…
⸻
Chorus (soaring again)
Mmmmmm (mmm-mmm-mmm) I’m still breathin’…
Cryin’ out but no one’s hearin’…
All these scars I keep concealin’…
Can’t escape this empty feelin’…
I’m staaaaaring at the ceeeiling (mmm-mmm-mmm)
Aaaasking God if I’m still breeeeathin’
Oooh, can you hear me? Ooooh, can you save me?
Mmmmmm… mmm-mmm-mmm…
⸻
Bridge (lift)
Take my soul, I’m fallin’ through the cracks
Pull me out before the night turns black
Every prayer’s a shiver in my chest
Tell me, God, am I still blessed?
Mmmmmm… mmm-mmm-mmm…
⸻
Final Chorus (big, layered vocals)
Mmmmmm (mmm-mmm-mmm) I’m still breathin’…
Cryin’ out but no one’s hearin’…
All these scars I keep concealin’…
Can’t escape this empty feelin’…
I’m staaaaaring at the ceeeiling (mmm-mmm-mmm)
Aaaasking God if I’m still breeeeathin’
Oooh, can you hear me? Ooooh, can you save me?
Mmmmmm… mmm-mmm-mmm…
