One day You said breathing would come easy One day You said I'd reconcile Ingrained pressures maintain shallow comfort You said one day I'd reconcile Call it will But I can't seem to Formulate these words I'm told Will help me to escape This state It sways the way I overcompensate For fear of getting overwhelmed I'm getting overwhelmed Smaller now So I can't reach the expectations Placed on me This brace will sway And break in time This common scene That mocks my inability To follow through Breathing won't come easy One day you said Breathing would come easy One day you said I'd reconcile Ingrained pressures maintain shallow comfort You said one day I'd reconcile Transfer These troubles outward They're stood their ground Now I should stand mine So I explore Measures to restore Impressions that I Want to leave now So I transfer These troubles outward They're stood their ground Now I should stand mine This I know Breathing won't come easy One day you said Breathing would come easy One day you said I'd reconcile Ingrained pressures maintain shallow comfort You said one day I'd reconcile So hard to unwind What's locked inside Too long to reconcile What's locked inside
