[Verse 1]
Didn't know that I was lonely
Don't know when I lost my way
Was just trying to survive
Tell myself to medicate
I made friends with the numb
Made love to the pain
Wherever I run, couldn't get out of my way
Stuck in my head, sleepwalking half-awake
[Chorus]
Now I'm feeling the blood run through my veins
Deep in my lungs, I'm breathing again
Forgiving myself, now this time I finally
I can hear my heartbeat
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
I can hear my heart
[Verse 2]
Now I only dream in colors
When I lived in black and white
You grow up fast when you're a mother
You stand strong when you're a wife
I made friends with the past, I'm not ashamed
Let all the tears roll down my face
Wouldn't know all this beauty without thanking my pain
[Chorus]
Now I'm feeling the blood run through my veins
Deep in my lungs, I'm breathing again
Forgiving myself, now this time I finally
I can hear my heartbeat
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
I can hear my heart
[Bridge]
And I almost lost it all (Almost lost it all)
I still stumble when I fall
But I'm still standing tall (I'm still standing tall)
I had to stop to understand (Stop to understand)
We all get a second chance
And I like who I am
[Chorus]
Now I'm feeling the blood run through my veins
Deep in my lungs, I'm breathing again
Forgiving myself, now this time I finally
I can hear my heartbeat
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
I can hear my heartbeat
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
I can hear my heartbeat
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
I can hear my heart

[It] came out so easy, and I finally felt unblocked. I could put words to feelings again and make them mean something for other people."
