Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Four months since the last glass

Waking up without the fog

Morning light doesn't stab my eyes

Remember everything I said

Chorus

Sober feels like learning to breathe

Sober feels like walking on glass

Every step a choice I make

Sober feels like peeling off the mask

Verse 2

Old friends at the same bar

They ask when I'll come around

I smile and order sparkling water

Their laughter hits different now

Pre-Chorus

Used to need the blur

To feel like I belonged

Now the silence rings so clear

I've been quiet all along

Chorus

Sober feels like learning to breathe

Sober feels like walking on glass

Every step a choice I make

Sober feels like peeling off the mask

Bridge

Fingers trace the rim of an empty cup

Wondering who I am without the crutch

The mirror shows a stranger

But stranger's not so rough

Drop

Breathe in

Breathe out

Breathe in

Breathe out

Chorus

Sober feels like learning to breathe

Sober feels like walking on glass

Every step a choice I make

Sober feels like peeling off the mask

Outro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Mm
