Trying To Breathe Lyrics

Verse 1

Wake up with the weight of a planet on my chest,

Every little step feels heavier than the rest.

People say “you’re strong,”

But they don’t see the nights—

Where I stare into the darkness

Hoping it would treat me right.

Pre-Chorus

I drag myself through days

That never seem to end.

I’m tired of pretending

I’m not breaking again.

Chorus

I’m trying,

To hold myself together when I’m dying.

I’m fighting,

Every breath feels like I’m barely surviving.

And I know

There’s a war inside my bones—

I’m trying, I’m trying,

But I still feel alone.

Verse 2

I shower just to feel like I still exist,

Eat a little bit so they don’t notice what they’ve missed.

Smile so they believe

I’m not sinking deep inside—

But even in a crowded room,

I’ve never felt more confined.

Breakdown

I’m trying I’m trying I’m trying I’m trying

I’m trying I’m trying I’m trying I’m trying

I’m trying I’m trying I’m trying I’m trying

But nothing ever changes…

Bridge

I’m not afraid of dying,

What scares me is the climb.

The pain that keeps repeating,

Like it’s stuck in rewind.

And yeah…

I hate to say the line—

I even try to die sometimes

Just to quiet my mind.

Chorus

I’m trying,

To hold myself together when I’m dying.

I’m fighting,

Every breath feels like I’m barely surviving.

And I know

There’s a war inside my bones—

I’m trying, I’m trying,

But I still feel alone.

Outro

I’m trying…

I’m trying…

But breathing feels like

A battle I’m not winning.
