Heartbreak opening

I've been holding my breath just to stay in the light,

Building these walls in the middle of night,

The years move like shadows, they follow the lead,

I'm counting the scars where the memories bleed.

Can you hear it? The sound of the glass finally breaking,

Everything real, everything aching.

Now I'm shouting at the ceiling while the floor falls away!

I've got a thousand different ghosts and they're here for the stay!

Stop telling me it's fine when the fire is high!

I'm not just hurt, I'm just sick of the 'why'!

I'm crying while I talk, can you see the release!

I'm burning the pages to finally find peace!

Yeah, it's years in the making, this pain in my chest!

I'm screaming the truth, put the silence to rest!

Take a breath, I can see what you're feeling inside,

You don't have to look for a place left to hide.

The weight of the world isn't yours for the carry,

The things that we lose and the lives that we bury.

I'm right here beside you, we're breaking the chain,

There's life on the other side of all of this rain.

You spoke the truth, now let the healing begin,

I'm here to hold the space you're currently in.

Finally breathing, finally free,

I'm looking in the mirror and I'm liking what I see.

The walls are all down, let the light rush on through,

I'm starting over, I'm something brand new.

Years in the making, the pain is all gone,

I'm walking out of the dark and into the dawn.

Finally breathing...

Finally free...

(I'm finally free.)

(Mmm, yeah...)
