[Chorus]
Ebm Db Cb
Breathe
Ebm Db Cb
Breathe
[Verse 1]
Ebm Db
I grew up in a small place, had to drive an hour just to see a movie
Cb
I'm a simple person, city life just doesn't move me
Cb
I'd rather be home with my grandparents and playing Euchre
Ebm
Didn't wanna leave but this dream's calling, I had to do it
Db
I left my girl there, wish I would've done it different
Cb
She was right when she told me that I don't ever listen
Cb
I told her I would change a million times and never did it
Ebm
Apologies don't mean a thing if you don't ever fix it
Db
I love what I do but it's not what I expected
Cb
This industry is not your friend, well that's my perspective
Cb
Sometimes the closest people to you make you feel protected
Ebm
But those are the same people that hurt you most and leave you guessing
Db
Some people say nobody's perfect but expect perfection
Cb
How you supposed to find the answer if you don't ask the question?
Cb
Sometimes I look into the mirror and talk to my reflection
Cb
When I go home and turn the music off, what am I left with?
[Chorus]
Ebm Db Cb
Breathe
Ebm Db Cb
Breathe
[Verse 2]
Ebm Db
We used to be close but as time passed, we became disconnected
Cb
You never felt love and I always felt disrespected
Cb
Your family thought I was a joke, I was always defensive
Ebm
They just wanted what was best for you, I just couldn't accept it
Db
And hurting you was not a part of my plan or my intentions
Cb
But I was immature, I guess I had to learn some lessons
Cb
We grew apart and our lives went in different directions
Ebm
And there's a lot of responsibilities that I neglected
Db
I had a lot that was bottled inside, couldn't express it
Cb
And this pain won't leave, I can feel the depression
Cb
It's taking over my body, feels like I'm always stressing
Ebm
Doctor told me I should sleep, but I'm always restless
Db
I lay awake at night and think, my thoughts are relentless
Cb
I need a moment to breathe, I need a moment to vent this
Cb
I seem to be the only person that I play pretend with
Cb
And when I turn the music off, what am I really left with huh?
[Chorus]
Ebm Db Cb
Breathe
Ebm Db Cb
Breathe
[Outro]
