Breathing Room (Soft Mellow)

[Verse 1] Left my phone on airplane Just to hear my thoughts talk back Kitchen light at midnight Cereal in a coffee cup Yeah Started writing down the worries Folded them like paper planes Threw them at the trash can Missed a few But that’s okay [Chorus] I need a little breathing room Five slow seconds in my chest It’s not perfect But it’s true Some days “okay” is still a flex If I get through this afternoon That’s my gold medal on the shelf I’m not broken I’m in bloom Learning how to be a friend to myself [Verse 2] Didn’t make the big plans Stayed in sweats Canceled the drive Watered all the houseplants Just to prove something’s alive Told my mirror “You’re surviving” Didn’t feel it Said it twice Tiny acts of quiet kindness Count as courage in disguise [Chorus] I need a little breathing room Five slow seconds in my chest It’s not perfect But it’s true Some days “okay” is still a flex If I get through this afternoon That’s my gold medal on the shelf I’m not broken I’m in bloom Learning how to be a friend to myself [Bridge] Maybe healing isn’t loud Maybe healing’s brushing teeth Answering a single text Changing dirty sheets Maybe strength is staying here When my brain says disappear So I’ll stay I’ll stay (I’m still here, I’m still here) [Chorus] I just need some breathing room Five slow seconds in my chest It’s not perfect But it’s true Some days “okay” is still a flex If I wake up again tomorrow That’s a quiet kind of wealth I’m not broken I’m in bloom Learning how to be a friend to myself
