Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Things were happening
I felt the weight of the expectation on my chest
My mind was traveling
But I swear that I don't remember where it went
[Verse 2]
They said things were growing
So why do I feel like nothing at all is left?
So I'll keep on moving
If I'm standing still, then I'll feel the emptiness
[PreChorus]
'Cause I get so lonely
And you get so low
And I look so stupid
When I lose control
I'm alone in my bedroom
And the walls are caving in
And I thought I'd be happy
But I'm barely breathing
Oh, I'm barely breathing, ah
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm feeling down
But I'm falling up
And I'm breaking out
But not out of luck
As I breathe the air
Into my lungs
I wanted everything, but nothing's ever good enough
[Verse 3]
I gotta change me
And if I wake up now, there's a chance to start again
Mmm, mmm
[Verse 4]
But if I wait
Could I get back to the place where it all began before?
[PreChorus]
I got so lonely
And you got so low
And I looked so stupid
When you came to my show
I'm alone in the spotlight
And the walls are caving in
And I thought I'd be happy
But I'm barely breathing
Oh, I'm barely breathing, ah
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm feeling down
But I'm falling up
And I'm breaking out
But not out of luck
As I breathe the air
Into my lungs
I wanted everything, but nothing's ever good enough
[Bridge]
And I hate the man that I've turned into
And I've come so far, what did I lose?
And I swear to God I'll make it through
I'll make it through
[PreChorus]
'Cause I get so lonely
And you get so low
And I looked so stupid
When you came to my show
I'm alone in the spotlight
And the walls are caving in
And I thought I'd be happy
But I'm barely breathing
Oh, I'm barely breathing, ah
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm feeling down
But I'm falling up
And I'm breaking out
But not out of luck
As I breathe the air
Into my lungs
I wanted everything, but nothing's ever good enough
