[Verse 1]
Why do I gotta learn the hard way?
Why do I gotta burn my bridges down?
Now that I feel so numb
Can't I just be me, for fuck sake?
Maybe I don't have a purpose
Maybe I cut way too deep
Or maybe I'll scratch the surface
And find out that I'm not worthless

[Pre-Chorus]
And I have never been so alive...

[Chorus]
I feel a fire burning underneath my skin
Now that I'm breathing, I'll breathe you in
I feel a freedom from this hopelessness within
Now that I'm breathing, I'll breathe you in

[Verse 2]
I should have stopped when I saw you breaking
I should have stopped, but I had to see it through
Now that I've come undone
I know why I've been forsaken
Maybe I'm too weak to hold you
Maybe you're just out of reach
So sorry I suffocate you
It must feel like I hate you
[Pre-Chorus]
But I have never been so alive...

[Chorus]
I feel a fire burning underneath my skin
Now that I'm breathing, I'll breathe you in
I feel a freedom from this hopelessness within
Now that I'm breathing, I'll breathe you in

[Bridge]
I've been afraid to show you what I'm made of
All of this time, what was I so afraid of?
You never did anything to make me feel this way
To make me feel this way

[Chorus]
I feel a fire burning underneath my skin
Now that I'm breathing, I'll breathe you in
I feel a freedom from this hopelessness within
Now that I'm breathing, I'll breathe you in

[Outro]
I'll breathe you in
I'll breathe you in
