[Intro – piano, soft inhale]
(quiet) I forgot how to breathe like this…
[Verse 1]
I’ve been holding my heart like glass,
Afraid if I move, it won’t last.
Every step felt borrowed time,
Every dream stood in line.
I learned how to smile through the ache,
Call it strength, call it brave.
But even walls get tired too,
Even armor wants to break in two.
[Verse 2]
I see the weight you never show,
The silent storms you carry home.
You don’t have to earn the sky,
You don’t have to bleed to fly.
If your hands are shaking now,
Let them be—I’ve got you down.
You don’t have to run or prove,
Just stay right here, let yourself move.
[Pre-Chorus – Both, overlapping lines]
What if I fall apart?
What if that’s the start?
[Chorus – Both]
You can let it go tonight,
You don’t have to hold the fight.
Every chain that told you “stay”
Can finally fade away.
You’re allowed to feel alive,
You’re allowed to cross the line.
If your heart needs room to be—
Come breathe with me, come be free.
[Verse 3 ]
I forgot what it felt like this,
Standing here without a script.
No apology in my voice,
Just the sound of my own choice.
[Verse 4 ]
That’s the light I always knew,
Still burning underneath you.
You were never made to bend,
You were always more than then.
[Pre-Chorus – Both]
I’m scared, but I’m still here.
That’s how freedom sounds, my dear.
[Chorus – Both, bigger]
You can let it go tonight,
You don’t have to hold the fight.
Every fear that pulled you back
Doesn’t get to speak like that.
You’re allowed to feel alive,
You’re allowed to take your time.
If your heart needs room to be—
Come breathe with me, come be free.
[Bridge – stripped, voices trade lines]
If I open up my hands—
I’ll be right where you land.
If I don’t know who I am—
You don’t have to understand.
We’ll figure it out as we go.
[Final Chorus – full harmony, lift]
You can let it go tonight,
Feel the truth come back to life.
No more living half-awake,
No more hiding what you ache.
You’re allowed to feel alive,
You were never wrong to try.
If your heart needs room to be—
Come breathe with me…
Come be free.
[Outro – piano + shared breath]
I can breathe again.
I know.
