[Verse 1]
For a minute I been holding my breath
Waiting to let it out
Something I could never forget
You wouldn't talk about
Oh oh oh oh
You wouldn't listen to me
Oh oh oh oh
I always had to bite my tongue hard till it would bleed
Was always keeping my eyes shut counting to three
Like is it over yet
Oh oh oh oh
I didn't make a sound
Oh oh oh oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to hold it back
Cause I'm so done with that
Now I can exhale
I'm not gonna keep inside
Everything you made me hide
Now I can exhale

[Chorus]
Now I can exhale
Now I can exhale
I can breathe
I can exhale
[Verse 2]
So I feel like I'm walking on air
I'm who I want to be
Took awhile now that I'm there I couldn't feel more free
Oh oh oh oh
It all comes down to karma
Oh oh oh oh
There's no more drama
I let go of all of the things that used to tie me down
I found the courage to change everything around
Oh oh oh oh
You, you, you were toxic
Oh oh oh oh
I had to stop it, stop it, stop

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to hold it back
Cause I'm so done with that
Now I can exhale
I'm not gonna keep inside
Everything you made me hide
Now I can exhale


[Chorus]
Now I can exhale
Now I can exhale
I can breathe
I can exhale
[Verse 3]
I ain't holding back no more
Tell me what my lips are for
You can't hurt me like before
You can't, no you can't break in

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to hold it back
Cause I'm so done with that
Now I can exhale
I'm not gonna keep inside
Everything you made me hide
Now I can exhale

[Chorus]
Now I can exhale
Now I can exhale
I can breathe
I can exhale
