lyrics

Breathe
Clifton Pierce/ Jonathan Kingham

I’m not your expectation
You might not understand
Adversity is my advantage
It made me who i am
I hope I don't disappoint you
Sorry if I let you down
But I’m longing for transparency
And to let my guard down

So I breathe
Every moment is borrowed
I’m better than yesterday
Not as good as tomorrow
Fold my pages differently
Working on only me
Be still through the discomfort
And remind myself to breathe

Is it the cause or the cure
That keeps the wheels spinning
Lines get blurred
And I’m still deeper in it
But in the depths of the darkest hole
The light still reaches me
So now I know, I didn’t know
And I’m learning how to breathe

I’m better than yesterday not as good as tomorrow
