Intro
Heart—
Too loud.
Breath—
Not enough.
*(“oh… oh…”) *
Verse 1
My heart’s beating out my chest again
Too fast, too hard, can’t slow it in
Hands shaking like I’m gonna break
Every step feels like a mistake
There’s a lump in my throat, I can’t swallow down
Tears sitting heavy but they won’t fall out
I try to speak but my voice won’t stay
It trembles, it fades, it slips away
*(“breathe… just breathe…”) *
Pre-Chorus
In—out—but it don’t go deep
Air comes in but it won’t reach me
Chest so tight like it’s caving in
Tell myself “just breathe again”
Chorus
Too much, too fast, I’m losing control
Heart so loud like it’s gonna explode
Shake, shake, I can’t stay still
Try to breathe but it won’t sit still
Not enough air, not enough space
Tears on the edge but stuck in place
I’m not dying but it feels that way
Like I might just break any day
*(“oh… oh… don’t break…”) *
Verse 2
Stomach twisted, I feel so sick
Cold then hot in the same damn tick
Every nerve is lit up bright
Like my body’s ready to fight
But there’s nowhere to run, nowhere to go
Just stuck in this feeling I don’t control
My breath comes short, uneven, thin
Like I forgot how to pull it in
*(“why… why now…”) *
Pre-Chorus 2
Count it out but I lose the pace
Try to ground but I float away
Say I’m fine but I’m not okay
Just need this feeling to go away
Chorus
Too much, too fast, I’m losing control
Heart so loud like it’s gonna explode
Shake, shake, I can’t stay still
Try to breathe but it won’t sit still
Not enough air, not enough space
Tears on the edge but stuck in place
I’m not dying but it feels that way
Like I might just break any day
Bridge
Don’t cry
Don’t fall
Hold it
At all
Breathe in—
(shake)
Breathe out—
(wait)
Why won’t it stop…
Chorus
Too loud, too fast, but I’m still here
Heart still racing but it’s not fear
Just a wave that I’m riding through
Even if it feels like I can’t move
Not enough air—but I still breathe
Even when it’s hard to be me
I don’t break, even when I sway
It passes… it fades… it won’t stay
Outro
Heart slows…
Breath comes back…
I’m okay…
I’m okay…
*(“I’m okay…”) *
