(Chorus 1)
Tell me how to breathe again
Tell me how to sleep again
Tell me how to find
My peace of mind
Tell me it’s not over yet
Tell me get up out of bed
Tell me how to walk
How to stand strong
(Verse 1)
If I can’t be who I wanna be
Then I’d better like the person I am
If I’m stuck in skin I wanna leave
I’d better find a way to smile again
(Chorus 2)
Tell me how to breathe again
Tell me how to sleep again
Tell me how to find
My peace of mind
Tell me it’s not over yet
Tell me get up out of bed
Tell me how to walk
How to stand strong
(Verse 2)
If I can’t be who I used to be
Then I’d better like the person I’ve become
If I can’t be more than what I see
I’d better find a way to be enough
Enough
Enough
(Chorus 3)
Tell me how to breathe again
Tell me how to sleep again
Tell me how to find
My peace of mind
Tell me it’s not over yet
Tell me get up out of bed
Tell me how to walk
How to stand strong
(Verse 3)
If I can’t be who I wanna be
Then I’d better like the person I am
If I’m stuck in skin I wanna leave
I’d better find a way to smile again
I’d better find a way to smile again
I know that for my family and my friends
I’d better find a way to smile again
Again
Again
Again
