[Verse 1]
Breath again
I walked those walks
Shoes so stained
From the lives I’d lost
Tried on faces
That were never mine
Chased their praises
Left my own behind
[Chorus]
Now I can breathe again
Slow and easy
In and out
All that weight I carried
I can lay it down
I followed where my soul would lead
Past every “should” and “must have been”
I walked away
I walked away
Now I can breathe again
[Verse 2]
Changed my sky
Traveled where my heart pleased
Quiet roads
Where my mind could breathe
Left that mirror
That was built of doubt
Stepped outside
Let the truth come out (ohh)
[Chorus]
Now I can breathe again
Slow and easy
In and out
All that weight I carried
I can lay it down
I followed where my soul would lead
Past every “should” and “must have been”
I walked away
I walked away
Now I can breathe again
[Bridge]
I was so tired of the trying
So tired of that old
Tight skin
One small step
Then another
And I found my way back in (to me)
[Chorus]
Now I can breathe again
Slow and easy
In and out
All that weight I carried
I can lay it down
I followed where my soul would lead
Past every “should” and “must have been”
I walked away
I walked away
Now I can breathe again (again)
