Learning to Breathe Again

[Verse]
I count the cracks on the ceiling every night
Your name's a ghost I can’t outrun
Empty shoes by the door
What am I saving them for
When you’re not coming home
[Prechorus]
The air feels thinner
The days grow dimmer
[Chorus]
Learning to breathe again
Without your oxygen
Every gasp feels wrong
But I’m holding on
Learning to breathe again
[Verse 2]
Your coffee cup still waits on the shelf
Dust collects where time stands still
The mirror shows someone I don’t know
A man shaped by the shadow
Of what you used to fill
[Chorus]
Learning to breathe again
Without your oxygen
Every gasp feels wrong
But I’m holding on
Learning to breathe again
[Bridge]
I talk to the walls
They don't reply
But somehow they echo
The ache inside

indie, raw acoustic, layered with soft electric guitar swells, male vocals
