[Verse 1]
I haven't found a successful way
To separate my mind at night
Versus the day (Versus the day)
Versus (Versus, versus, versus)
The only way I'll get through this is with your kiss
The only thing that takes my pain away (Way, way, way)
They keep tellin' me to breathe
But none of them can see
What it's like inside my head
I can't help but ask myself
Would anything change
If I were dead?
[Verse 2]
I'm nervous
'Cause maybe they won't like what they see
Every time I look in the mirror
It's always something else that's staring back at me
I keep struggling with these thoughts
Depression, please, won't you stop?
I just wanna stay alive so one day I can hear my kids call me
"Pops"
I'm not a failure
Nor am I who I once was
And I can feel the grace in the day
And that's God's way of saying, "We're okay"
And I know today might seem like the worst
But if you think about it, you could be in a hearse
So take these words I have well-rehearsed
Listen when I say this verse
This pain is real and I know it hurts
But music saves, so know your worth
Don't be like me, don't be like me, don't be like me, in any way
Don't turn the page on this brand new day
Hope is trying to find its way in
[Chorus]
So just breathe
Like we used to
When they all knew
How much I loved you
So just breathe (Can't stop now, I'm not breathing)
Like we used to (Bleeding out all my feelings)
When they all knew (You said this song was just too sappy to sing)
How much I loved you (But my fear of doubt leaves all my truth crumbling)
So just breathe (Can't stop now, I'm not breathing)
Like we used to (Bleeding out all my feelings)
When they all knew (You said this song was just too sappy to sing)
How much I loved you (But my fear of doubt leaves all my truth crumbling)
So just breathe (Can't stop now, I'm not breathing)
Like we used to (Bleeding out all my feelings)
When they all knew (You said this song was just too sappy to sing)
How much I loved you (But my fear of doubt leaves all my truth crumbling)
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, yeah
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
When they all knew (They all knew, they all knew)
How much I, how much I loved
Loved
