Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wore the ring like a chain
Smiled through the ache
Kept the table set
Kept my hands from shaking
Every room knew my fear
Every wall heard it too
I learned how to vanish
Just to make it through
[Pre-Chorus]
And I forgot my own name
Somewhere in the years
Forgot what my voice sounds like
When it’s not in tears
[Chorus]
I don’t know how to breathe
On my own, on my own
I don’t know how to stand
With a life of my own
I walked out the door
Now the whole world feels cold
I don’t know how to breathe
On my own, on my own
[Verse 2]
Now the keys in my hand
Feel heavier than stone
No one to ask permission
No one to call home
The sky looks too big
The street looks too wide
I keep reaching for someone
Who’s not by my side
[Pre-Chorus]
And the silence is loud
When the hurt lets go
It’s a strange kind of freedom
That I don’t yet know
[Chorus]
I don’t know how to breathe
On my own, on my own
I don’t know how to stand
With a life of my own
I walked out the door
Now the whole world feels cold
I don’t know how to breathe
On my own, on my own
[Bridge]
But I’m learning the shape
Of a day without fear
Learning how to survive
When nobody’s near
One breath at a time
One step at a time
If I fall, I rise
If I break, I still shine
[Final Chorus]
I don’t know how to breathe
On my own, on my own
I don’t know how to stand
With a life of my own
I walked out the door
And I’m still standing here
I don’t know how to breathe
But I will learn, my dear
