[NF - Breathe lyrics]
Breathe breathe
I grew up in a small place
Had to drive an hour just to see a movie
I'm a simple person
City life just doesn't move me
I'd rather be home with my
Grandparents and playing Euchre
Didn't wanna leave but this dream's calling
I had to do it i left my girl there
Wish I would've done it different
She was right when she told me
That I don't ever listen
I told her I would change a
Million times and never did it
Apologies don't mean a thing if
You don't ever fix it
I love what I do but it's not what I expected
This industry is not your friend
Well that's 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 nobody's perfect
But expect perfection
How you supposed to find the answer
If you don't 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?
Breathe breathe
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 couldn't 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 there's a lot of
Responsibilities that I neglected
I had a lot that was bottled inside
Couldn't express it
And this pain won't leave
I can feel the depression
It's taking over my body
Feels like I'm always stressing
Doctor told me I should sleep
But, I'm 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?
Breathe breathe
I grew up in a small place
Had to drive an hour just to see a movie
I'm a simple person
City life just doesn't move me
I'd rather be home with my
Grandparents and playing Euchre
Didn't wanna leave but this dream's calling
I had to do it i left my girl there
Wish I would've done it different
She was right when she told me
That I don't ever listen
I told her I would change a
Million times and never did it
Apologies don't mean a thing if
You don't ever fix it
I love what I do but it's not what I expected
This industry is not your friend
Well that's 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 nobody's perfect
But expect perfection
How you supposed to find the answer
If you don't ask the question?
Sometimes I look into the mirror
And talk to my reflection
When I go home and turn the music off
