room to breathe

Lately I been feeling kinda off, I won’t lie

Like I’m asking for too much just to get a little time

Told myself I’m good, I don’t need nothing extra

But it’s heavy when I’m quiet, feel it build under pressure

Tryna keep it cool, keep it cute, don’t say too much

But every time I bring it up it get switched up

Now I’m second guessing everything I said

Like maybe I’m the one that’s doing too much in my head

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I be shrinking just to keep the peace

But it don’t feel like peace to me

Say I’m fine, but it’s hard to be

When I don’t get no room to breathe

⸻

Chorus

Don’t count moments like I’m free

That’s not how it feel to me

You see pieces, I feel everything

That’s the difference, honestly

If it’s love, why it feel one way

Why I gotta beg for space

I’m not asking for too much

Just a little room to breathe

⸻

Verse 2 (conversation)

Said I needed something steady, you like

“we both been getting time”

I just sat there reading that like…

maybe I’m tripping, maybe it’s fine

Then it turned into

“don’t rewrite it”

Now I’m staring at my phone like

how I rewrite something I’m living in

I can name like… a few times

But that’s not even the point

It’s everything in between

That you don’t ever really join

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Now I don’t even say too much

Let it sit, let it build up

‘Cause every time I open up

It get flipped into something else

⸻

Chorus

Don’t count moments like I’m free

That’s not how it feel to me

You see pieces, I feel everything

That’s the difference, honestly

If it’s love, why it feel one way

Why I gotta beg for space

I’m not asking for too much

Just a little room to breathe

⸻

Bridge (almost spoken/thoughts)

Maybe I don’t need you to get it

Maybe I just need me a minute

Somewhere I don’t gotta explain it

Somewhere I can feel like I’m in it

‘Cause I know what it’s been like

I was there for all of it

You can keep your version, that’s fine

I’m done arguing with it

⸻

Outro (soft, trailing)

I’m not tryna fight about it…

I just…

need a little space
