Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Breathe)
(Breathe)
[Verse 2]
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 woulda done it different
[Verse 3]
And 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
[Verse 4]
Some people say, nobody's perfect but expect perfection
How are 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
[Verse 5]
(Breathe)
(Breathe)
[Verse 6]
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
I 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 in our lives, went in different directions
And there's a lot of responsibilities that I neglected
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
(Breathe)
(Breathe)
