I'm Breathing Again

It was a Friday night goodbye, slammed doors and driving fast,
Said words we didn’t really mean, but you can’t rewind the past.
There were bottles on the table, there were tears we couldn’t hide,
Now I’m waking up to realize the hurt I’m holding inside. 

Yeah, the weekend felt like drowning, every song cut like a knife,
Friends kept pouring something stronger, said it helps you numb your life.
But the more I tried to lose you in the smoke and in the crowd,
The louder all the quiet parts of my broken heart cried out. 

Now I’m breathing a little lighter, standing on my feet,
Finding strength in every step, not at the bottom of a street.
Yeah, the night felt never‑ending, but the morning played its part,
I faced all the pain and found my self‑respect at heart.

So I’m turning down that next one, ’cause it never really helps,
I’ve been running from the healing, running from my truest self.
Gonna call a friend who listens, take a walk and let it rain,
Let the honest kind of crying wash the poison from my pain. 

I’ve been learning there’s a difference between “forget” and “getting through,”
One just covers up the wound, one lets the light come shining through.
Maybe time won’t make it easy, but it slowly makes us new,
And I’m holding on to better days that I can’t yet see, but do. 

I took my own advice and put that bottle down,
Let the tears all hit the floor instead of spinning round.
Thought the drink could drown my sorrow, but it kept me in the dark,
Till I put the glass away and let hope back in my heart.

Now I’m breathing a little lighter, standing on my feet,
Finding strength in every step, not at the bottom of a street.
Yeah, the night felt never‑ending, but the morning played its part,
I faced all the pain and found my self‑respect at heart.

Now I’m breathing a little lighter, standing on my feet,
Finding strength in every step, not at the bottom of a street.
Yeah, the night felt never‑ending, but the morning played its part,
I faced all the pain and found my self‑respect at heart.
I faced all the pain and found my self‑respect at heart.
