[Verse 1]
Buried my hatchet in the clouds
Punchin' my lungs a fifth time now
[Chorus]
What you want, say I don't need
What you want, no, I wanna be free, oh, oh
What you want, I say I don't need
What you want, no, I wanna be free, oh (Oh)
[Verse 2]
Givin' you less in spite of pain
Burnin' the mess that is my shame (Oh)
[Chorus]
What you want, say I don't need
What you want, no, I wanna be free, oh
Wanna be free, oh
What you want, oh, I say I don't need
What you want, no, I wanna be free, oh
Wanna be free, oh
[Bridge]
I'm pretty sure I learned my lesson
I can tell 'cause I feel different
I won't try to sound impressive
Promise I have good intentions
Pretty sure I learned my lesson
I can tell 'cause I feel different
I feel different
[Verse 3]
Holdin' my breath 'til I see the sun
Doubtin' myself 'til I'm overrun
Fell out of touch with a better love
Pickin' up the pieces of who I was
[Pre-Chorus]
What you want, say I don't need
What you want, no, I wanna be free, oh
Wanna be free, oh (Oh)
What you want, no, I say I don't need
What you want, no, I wanna be free, oh
Wanna be free, oh (Wanna be, wanna be)
What you want, no, I say I don't need
What you want, no, I wanna be free, oh
I wanna be free, oh, (Oh, yeah)
What you want, no, I say I don't need
What you want, no, wanna be free
What you want, no, I say, I don't need
What you, what you, what you, what you
[Outro]
Pretty sure I learned my lesson
I can tell 'cause I feel different
I won't try to sound impressive
Promise I have good intentions
Pretty sure I learned my lesson
I can tell 'cause I feel different
I feel different

I’ve dreamt of sharing this with you for so so long. “Asthma” comes from a place of digging through to get to the problem. Avoidance tends to be a friend of mine, i don’t like that about myself. I’d rather run or “be free”, one might say. You’re never gonna get better unless you want to. Whatever th...
“Asthma” is an allegory. There are some things that are better left unsaid, and I think I want this song to stay my secret in that way. I wrote it from a place of one perspective, but the moment I first performed it, that changed drastically. Even still, some days it means one thing and others it me...
