Breath by Breath

[Intro] Silent clock, a pulse in the dim I breathe in doubt, exhale my thin [Verse 1] I wear my scars like a quiet thread Along the map inside my chest I tread Soft thunder, a whisper in my mind Counting flaws I’m trying not to hide [Pre-Chorus] If I open up, will light break through Or will I scatter like a morning dew [Chorus] I’m not made of flawless skies, I’m wound with honest ties I fall and rise with every breath I’m learning to survive Hold my tremble, hold my fear, I’m waking from the lie I wear Raw and true, I’m here for you, I’m here for me to repair [Verse 2] Rain taps the window, a patient friend Each drop a memory I won’t pretend The mirror speaks in softer tones now As I tell the truth I’m learning how [Pre-Chorus] If I admit I’m weak, will mercy stay Or fade into the questions of the day [Chorus] I’m not made of flawless skies, I’m wound with honest ties I fall and rise with every breath I’m learning to survive Hold my tremble, hold my fear, I’m waking from the lie I wear Raw and true, I’m here for you, I’m here for me to repair [Bridge] Let the walls surrender, let the brave unfold In the quiet center, I find a heart of gold [Chorus] I’m not made of flawless skies, I’m wound with honest ties I fall and rise with every breath I’m learning to survive Hold my tremble, hold my fear, I’m waking from the lie I wear Raw and true, I’m here for you, I’m here for me to repair [Outro] Breath by breath, I name what’s real I am enough, vulnerable and real
