Breathe.
Embracing Shadows: A Journey Through Pain and Redemption
Lyrics
I haven't found a successful way to
I struggle to find an effective way to
Separate my mind at night v.s. the day.
Segment my thoughts at night versus during the day.
The only way i'll get through this is with
The only way I can cope is with
Your kiss, the only thing that takes my pain away.
Your kiss, the only solace that alleviates my pain.
They keep telling me to breathe, but none of them can see,
Despite advice to "breathe," no one comprehends
What it's like inside my head.
The internal turmoil within my mind.
I can't help but ask myself. would anything change, if I were dead?
I contemplate whether anything would change
I'm nervous. cause maybe they won't like what they see.
I feel anxious because they may not approve of
Every time I look in the mirror there's
The reflection I see in the mirror.
Always something else thats staring back at me.
Constantly confronted by a different aspect of myself.
I keep struggling with these
I grapple with persistent
Thoughts, depression please wont you stop.
Depressive thoughts, pleading for relief.
I just want to stay alive so one day I can hear my kids call me pops.
My desire to survive stems from wanting to hear my future children call me "pops."
I am not a failure.
I affirm that I am not a failure.
Nor am I who I once was.
I acknowledge that I am not the person I once was.
& I can feel the grace in the day
I sense divine grace in the day
And thats Gods way of saying we're okay.
As a sign that everything will be okay.
& I know today might seem like the worst,
Although today may seem challenging,
But if you think about it you could be in a hearse.
Consider that the situation could be worse.
So take these words I have well
Accept these words that I have carefully
Rehearsed, listen when I say this verse.
Practiced, and listen to the message in this verse.
This pain is real and I know it
The pain is genuine, and I understand that it
Hurts, but music saves so know your worth.
Hurts, but music has the power to save, so recognize your value.
Don't be like me, don't be like me, don't be like me, in any way.
Advising not to emulate my mistakes,
Don't turn the page on this brand new
Urging not to turn away from this new
Day, hope is trying to find its way, in.
Day, where hope is seeking a path forward.
So just breathe, like we used to.
Encouraging to "breathe" as we once did,
When they all knew, how much I loved you.
When everyone knew the depth of my love for you.
Can't stop now, I'm not breathing. Bleeding out,
Expressing the inability to stop, as I'm suffocating,
All my feelings. You said this song was just too sappy to sing.
Bleeding out my emotions. Acknowledging
But, my fear of doubt leaves all my truth crumbling.
Your criticism that this song is overly sentimental, yet
When they all knew.
Recalling a time when everyone knew
How much I, How much I loved.
The depth of my love.
Loved, you.
Expressing the magnitude of my love for you.
