Mostafa Elsaadi — Let Me Breathe

Let me
Let me breathe
Let me breathe
Oh, I've been holding on
Let me brea
Everybody wants a piece of me
Everybody needs something
A little more of my time
A little more of my energy
I learned to say yes
When everything inside said no
I kept giving pieces of myself
Just to keep the peace at home
I became what they needed
I became what they could trust
But somewhere along the way, I forgot what
I needed from myself
I can feel the weight around me
I can feel it on my skin.
And the louder everybody gets, the harder it is to heal within
I don't want to fight you.
I don't want to blame.
I just need a little space
To remember who
I am.
Let me step outside the noise.
Let me hear my heartbeat.
Let me find the part of me
I lost trying to please everyone.
Let me let me
Let me brea.
I don't need another voice
Telling me who
I should be.
Let me
Let me brea.
For the first time in a long time,
I just want to feel like me
Let me let me
Let me brea
Let me brea.
Take your hands off me
I used to think that being strong
Meant carrying everything
Never showing when
I was tired, never asking for anything.
Thought love meant giving
Until there was nothing left.
I thought being needed
Was the same as being loved.
But love should never feel
Like losing yourself to someone.
And peace should never cost
The person you are becoming so
I'm putting down the weight
That was never my hope.
I'm opening the door and
I'm letting the silence.
I don't want to fight you.
I don't want to blame you.
I just need a little space
To remember who
I am.
Let me step outside the noise.
Let me hear my heartbeat.
Let me find a part of me.
I lost trying to please everyone.
Let me let me let me brea.
I don't need another voice
Telling me who
I should be
Let me brea.
Let me brea.
For the first time in a long time,
I just want to feel like me
Let me let me breathe.
Let me brea
Let me brea.
Take your hands off me
Let me brea.
Maybe
I don't have to explain myself.
Maybe
I don't have to make you understand maybe
I can walk away
Without feeling guilty.
Maybe
I can love you
Without losing me.
Maybe saying no doesn't make me selfish.
Maybe choosing myself
Doesn't mean
I don't care.
Maybe
I was never asking for too much.
Maybe
I was just asking
For room to brea
Let me brea
I can hear my heartbeat
Let me let me
Let me brea.
I don't need another voice
Telling me who
I should be
Let me
For the first time in a long time.
I can finally feel like
I don't need to run back.
I don't need to hide.
I just need enough space
To hear what's inside.
Let me
Let me
Let me let me
Let me breathe
I'm taking back my life.
Let me
I can feel
I can feel
I can feel.
Let me
Let me brea
I'm finally here and me
