[Verse 1: NF]
~#**************#~
I grew up in a small place, had to drive an hour just to see a movie
~#**************#~
Im a simple person, city life just doesnt move me
~#**************#~
Id rather be home with my grandparents and playing Euchre
~#**************#~
Didnt wanna leave but this dreams calling, I had to do it
~#**************#~
I left my girl there, wish I wouldve done it different
~#**************#~
She was right when she told me that I dont ever listen
~#**************#~
I told her I would change a million times and never did it
~#**************#~
Apologies dont mean a thing if you dont ever fix it
~#**************#~
I love what I do but its not what I expected
~#**************#~
This industry is not your friend, well thats my perspective
~#**************#~
Sometimes the closest people to you make you feel protected
~#**************#~
But those are the same people that hurt you most and leave you guessing
~#**************#~
Some people say nobodys perfect but expect perfection
~#**************#~
How you supposed to find the answer if you dont ask the question?
~#**************#~
Sometimes I look into the mirror and talk to my reflection
~#**************#~
When I go home and turn the music off, what am I left with?
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Fleurie]
~#**************#~
Breathe
~#**************#~
Breathe
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: NF]
~#**************#~
We used to be close but as time passed, we became disconnected
~#**************#~
You never felt love and I always felt disrespected
~#**************#~
Your family thought I was a joke, I was always defensive
~#**************#~
They just wanted what was best for you, I just couldnt accept it
~#**************#~
And hurting you was not a part of my plan or my intentions
~#**************#~
But I was immature, I guess I had to learn some lessons
~#**************#~
We grew apart and our lives went in different directions
~#**************#~
And theres a lot of responsibilities that I neglected
~#**************#~
I had a lot that was bottled inside, couldnt express it
~#**************#~
And this pain wont leave, I can feel the depression
~#**************#~
Its taking over my body, feels like Im always stressing
~#**************#~
Doctor told me I should sleep, but Im always restless
~#**************#~
I lay awake at night and think, my thoughts are relentless
~#**************#~
I need a moment to breathe, I need a moment to vent this
~#**************#~
I seem to be the only person that I play pretend with
~#**************#~
And when I turn the music off, what am I really left with huh?
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Fleurie]
~#**************#~
Breathe
~#**************#~
Breathe
