I Breathe Out

I breathe out...

And let it go...

I held the air inside for years

Behind my ribs, beneath my fears

I learned to live on half a breath

A heavy hush inside my chest

But something loosens in my throat

The tightness slowly lets me go

I feel my lungs begin to fill

And for a moment, all is still

I breathe out, I let it go

All the years I couldn't show

Every word I held inside

Rushing out into the night

Now we breathe out, side by side

A thousand voices open wide

Feel the air come rushing in

We breathe out and we begin

We breathe out and we begin

My lungs remember how to sing

The cold night air, a brand new thing

No more counting every sigh

No more holding back the tide

Each breath I take is mine to keep

Each breath I give runs wide and deep

But something loosens in my throat

The tightness slowly lets me go

I feel my lungs begin to fill

And for a moment, all is still

I breathe out, I let it go

All the years I couldn't show

Every word I held inside

Rushing out into the night

Now we breathe out, side by side

A thousand voices open wide

Feel the air come rushing in

We breathe out and we begin

Breathe in slow, the world goes quiet

Hold it close, then let it fly

Every heartbeat finds its rhythm

In and out, the tide rolls high

Nothing left I need to carry

Only air and open eyes

I breathe out, I let it go

All the years I couldn't show

Now we breathe out, side by side

We breathe out and we begin

I breathe out...

Let it go...

I breathe out...

Let it go...

We begin...
