[Verse 1]
You slam the car door
Throw your backpack on the floor
Little hands shaking
Eyes fixed on the window
I see your shoulders
Curled up like a question
"Baby
Talk to me"
But your voice just won’t go
[Chorus]
Back seat tears
Falling on your sneakers
You say
"I don't wanna be here"
And my heart stops
I pull this whole world to the side of the road
Wrap you in my arms
Won't let you go
I whisper
"Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
You are everything to me"
[Verse 2]
You choke out their words
How they laugh when you walk in
How they pushed you at recess
Said you'd never fit in
You say you're so tired
Of waking up to this fight
Say you don't wanna live
And the sky goes quiet
[Chorus]
Back seat tears
Falling on your sneakers
You say
"I don't wanna be here"
And my heart breaks
I pull this whole world to the side of the road
Wrap you in my arms
Won't let you go
I whisper
"Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
You are everything to me"
[Bridge]
Listen to me
Look at me (hey, hey)
Those kids don't get to name you
They don't know your kindness
They don't see your brave
If you ever feel that darkness
You don't walk it by yourself
You say my name
I'll be right there
I will carry what you felt
[Chorus]
Back seat tears
Drying on your cheeks now
You ask
"Will it always be this hard?"
I say
"Not always"
We’ll drive through the days that feel too much
Till you see yourself the way I does
So breathe
Breathe
Breathe
You are everything
You are everything
To me
