Lyrics By: Stone Marlow

You left your sweater on my chair
Still smells like your shampoo
Cup ring on the bedside
Little ghosts of me and you
I still sleep on my own side
Talk to the dark like you’re there
Some days I almost call you
Then stop mid-number
Mid-air

But I’m back to breathing
One deep breath at a time
Yeah I’m back to breathing
Don’t need your heartbeat under mine
I still feel the aching
Where your promises used to be
But I’m back to breathing
Back to breathing
Back to me

Friends keep saying
“let it fade”
Change my hair
Change the view
I threw away our movie stubs
But I kept that photo of you
‘Cause you were more than just the hurt
You were Sundays
You were spring
Now I’m learning how to hold
My own hand through everything

And I’m back to breathing
One deep breath at a time
Yeah I’m back to breathing
Don’t need your heartbeat under mine
I still feel the aching
Where your promises used to be
But I’m back to breathing
Back to breathing
Back to me

I thought the silence meant it’s over
Turns out it’s where I hear my name
Spoken soft inside my chest
Saying “you’ll be okay
Okay”

‘Cause I’m back to breathing
One deep breath at a time
Yeah I’m back to breathing
Your shadow’s slipping out of mine
I still feel the aching
But it doesn’t own the key
Yeah I’m back to breathing
Back to breathing
Back to me
