Lyrics
The room was closing in again
Like it forgot I’m here
Every sound said hold your breath
Every thought was fear
I folded up my name at night
To keep the peace, to stay
I whispered this is temporary
Like a prayer I couldn’t say
I wasn’t breaking
I was waiting
For the wave to pass
I couldn’t breathe, but I stayed
I held on through the ache
Every second felt like drowning
But I knew the air would change
If I make it through this moment
There’s a softer light ahead
I couldn’t breathe…
But I stayed
They only see me in small rooms
White walls, careful words
But I exist when no one’s looking
More than what they’ve heard
I saw myself in quiet sleep
No weight upon my chest
Just breathing like it’s natural
Like being me is rest
This isn’t forever
It just feels close
When you’re counting breaths
Instead of hope
I couldn’t breathe, but I stayed
Hands shaking, still awake
Every fear said this is it
But I felt my heartbeat wait
If I make it through this moment
There’s a place where I can rest
I couldn’t breathe…
But I stayed
I don’t need to disappear
To make the world feel safe
I don’t need to vanish
Just to earn my place
I am still becoming
Even standing still
I am not behind
I’m just healing quietly
I couldn’t breathe, but I stayed
Through the longest minute
I saw myself beyond the walls
And I believed in it
If I make it through this moment
There’s a life I haven’t met
I couldn’t breathe…
But I stayed
I’m learning how to breathe
I’m learning how to breathe
Slowly…
I’m still here
