Breathe
Embracing Release: Mariah Colon's Poignant Reflection on Love Lost
Lyrics
How can I let it go
Expressing difficulty in releasing something emotionally.
How can I let it die
Questioning the possibility of letting a feeling or relationship fade.
Looking back at the pieces of when you were mine
Reflecting on memories from a past relationship.
Days have passed and now
Noting the passage of time since the breakup.
Your voice is trapped in my mind
Feeling haunted by the ex-partner's voice in thoughts.
You left me here waiting for you
Expressing being left alone, anticipating the ex-partner's return.
My heart cannot break through
Feeling emotionally blocked, unable to move on.
Because I just have to let it go
Reiterating the need to release the emotional attachment.
What we had we will never know
Acknowledging the impossibility of fully understanding what was lost.
And I just have to let this pain ease
Accepting the necessity of letting go and easing the pain.
And all I need to do is breathe
Highlighting the importance of breathing as a coping mechanism.
Everything you wrote is gone
Expressing the disappearance of meaningful written expressions.
Every poem and every song
Noting the loss of shared creative works like poems and songs.
The pictures they burn into my soul
Describing the enduring impact of visual memories on the soul.
What has become of us
Pondering the current state of the relationship.
The only one that I could trust
Emphasizing the former partner as the only trusted person.
The words you spoke before you said goodbye
Recalling parting words before the goodbye.
Because I just have to let it go
Repeating the necessity of releasing emotional ties.
What we had we will never know
Acknowledging the unknowable aspects of the past relationship.
And I just have to let this pain ease
Reiterating the need to ease the pain through acceptance.
And all I need to do is breathe
Emphasizing the importance of breathing as a healing action.
I thought you'd stop me as I walked away
Expressing the expectation of being stopped but realizing the lack of desire from the ex-partner to prevent the departure.
But you didn't
-Didn't want me to stay
-I thought you'd stop me as I walked away
-But you didn't
-Didn't want me to stay
-I thought you'd stop me as I walked away
-But you didn't
-Didn't want me to stay
-I thought you'd stop me
-I thought you'd stop me
-I thought you'd stop me
-Because I just have to let it go
Repeating the theme of letting go for emotional well-being.
What we had we will never know
Acknowledging the permanent loss of understanding the past relationship.
And I just have to let this pain ease
Reiterating the need to let go for healing and peace.
And all I need to do is breathe
Emphasizing breathing as a simple yet crucial step towards emotional recovery.
