[Verse 1]
You know I think you're great
You’re fun
You don't take shit from anyone
And you only do things if you really fucking love it
Really fucking love it
And nothing's wrong, per se
But I’m a loner with a lot of baggage
That I haven't yet claimed
Don't want you to take that blame
It's not easy for me to say
[Chorus]
Breathe
Give me space to breathe
Walked in your steps too long
Forget who I was on my own
Please
It's not you it's me
Don't take it as goodbye
I still want you in my life
But I just need some space to breathe
[Verse 2]
Nothing's changed at all
In the last five hours since you texted me
And asked me what was going on
I’ve been sitting on my couch
I don’t want to go out
And put on a show for anyone
And when I say anyone
I really mean anyone
It's not just you
I don’t want to see my friends
My family, my mother
Don't get upset with me
I need to
[Chorus]
Breathe
Give me space to breathe
Walked in your steps too long
Forget who I was on my own
Please
It's not you it's me
Don’t take it as goodbye
I still want you in my life
But I just need some space to breathe
Baby I need to
[Outro]
Breathe
Give me space to breathe
Walked in your steps too long
Forget who I was on my own
Please
It's not you it's me
Don't take it as goodbye
I still want you in my life
But I just need some space to breathe
