Learning how to Breathe

Verse One

Been a long life of whispers under breath,

Little sighs behind my back while I’m doing my best.

No matter the storm that’s rising inside,

I swallow the tears

and force a smile I don’t feel.

Chorus

See, I’m not asking for a miracle,

Not asking for the moon —

Just someone who sees the weight I lift

When I walk into a room.

Someone who moves before I speak,

Who shows up on their own…

‘Cause even the strongest woman gets tired of carrying the whole load

Verse Two

I ain’t bitter, I’m just breaking —

A worn-out heart with too much ache.

A woman taught to keep on giving

Till she’s got nothing left to take.

If someone stopped and sat beside me,

If someone cared enough to see…

Maybe I could breathe again,

And come back home to me.

Bridge

No, I’m not a superwoman.

Never was, never claimed to be.

I’m just someone learning slowly

How to breathe…

How to be…

Chorus (repeat)

See, I’m not asking for a miracle,

Not asking for the moon —

Just someone who sees the weight I lift

When I walk into a room.

Someone who moves before I speak,

Who shows up on their own…

‘Cause even the strongest woman gets tired

Of holding up a home.
