[Verse 1]
Things were happening
I felt the weight of the expectation on my chest
My mind was traveling
But I swear that I don't remember where it went
They said things were growing
So why do I feel like nothing at all is left?
So I'll keep on moving
'Cause if I'm standin' still then I'll feel the emptiness

[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause I get so lonely, and you get so low
And I looked so stupid when I lose control
I'm alone in my bedroom and the walls are caving in
And I thought I'd be happy, but I'm barely breathin'
Ooh, I'm barely breathin'

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm feeling down, but I'm fallin' up
And I'm breakin' out, but not out of luck
As I breathe the air into my lungs
I wanted everythin', but nothing's ever good enough

[Verse 2]
I gotta change me
And if I wake up now there's a chance to start again (Hmm, hmm)
But if I wait
Could I get back to the place where it all began before?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I got so lonely and you got so low
And I looked so stupid when you came to my show
I'm alone in the spotlight and the walls are cavin' in
And I thought I'd be happy, but I'm barely breathin'
Ooh, I'm barely breathin'

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm feelin' down, but I'm fallin' up
And I'm breakin' out, but not out of luck
As I breathe the air into my lungs
I wanted everythin', but nothing's ever good enough

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
And I hate the man that I've turned into
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
And I've come so far, what did I lose?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
And I swear to God I'll make it through
I'll make it through

[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause I get so lonely and you get so low
And I looked so stupid when you came to my show
I'm alone in the spotlight and the walls are caving in
And I thought I'd be happy, but I'm barely breathin'
Ooh, I'm barely breathin'
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm feeling down, but I'm falling up
And I'm breaking out, but not out of luck
As I breathe the air into my lungs
I wanted everythin', but nothing's ever good enough
