Breathing by Spencer LaJoye

Let me tell you a story of a kid caught up
Everyone else was so happy, and who
Who was I to make it stop?

Couldn’t tell you the moment when I got so lost
Playing the part til I wasn’t myself
I woke up as someone else

A very wise woman once told me I couldn’t
keep carrying everyone else
That I need to remember the oxygen for myself

Maybe for the first time I am breathing
Swear that I’m just following a feeling
I lost the script; there isn’t one for this
So I’ll just make it up
It’s you, it’s me, it’s us

If I’m honest, I’m scared of untying the string
All of this reckless unraveling, all
All that’s left is all of me

A very wise woman once told me I couldn’t
keep carrying everyone else
That I need to remember the oxygen for myself

Maybe for the first time I am breathing
Swear that I’m just following a feeling
I lost the script; there isn’t one for this
So I’ll just make it up

Maybe for the first time I am breathing
Swear that I’m just following a feeling
I lost the script; there isn’t one for this
So I’ll just make it up
It’s you, it’s me, it’s us

It’s you, it’s me, it’s us
