Barely Breathing

Intro

I used to think I had a reason

Something worth believing

Now every morning hits the same

Another day I have to fake

Tell me why it feels so hard

Just getting through the dark

Verse 1

I hear my phone light up at night

But I can't bring myself to reply

'Cause every conversation turns

Into another thing that hurts

And everybody says “hold on”

Like they know where I belong

But I don't even know myself

These days I need help

Pre-Chorus

And I'm so sick of feeling numb

Like I'm already gone

Chorus

I know it's all in my mind

But I swear I'm running out of time

And God, I wanna feel okay

Not just make it through the day

'Cause I'm tired of barely breathing

Instrumental Drop

Verse 2

I laugh so no one asks me why

There's tears hidden in my eyes

I keep the curtains closed all day

So nobody sees me this way

And every mirror feels so cold

Like it's someone I don't know

I'm standing here but truthfully

There's nothing left of me

Pre-Chorus

And I'm so sick of feeling numb

Like I'm already gone

Chorus

I know it's all in my mind

But I swear I'm running out of time

And God, I wanna feel okay

Not just make it through the day

'Cause I'm tired of barely breathing

Instrumental Drop

Bridge

Some nights the silence gets so loud

I can't escape it now

I keep waiting for the weight to lift

But it never really does

And maybe that's what scares me most

Learning how to live like a ghost

Final Chorus

I know it's all in my mind

But I swear I'm running out of time

And God, I wanna feel alive

Instead of trying just to survive

'Cause I'm tired of barely breathing

Outro

Barely breathing...

Still awake at 3AM

Trying to be whole again

But I'm barely breathing...
