Lyrics:
I should’ve known better
When you smiled that way
Every word felt hollow
But I chose to stay

I chased your shadow
Thought I could see
I was drawn in by the void
Between you and me

I fell for the lies
I didn’t wanna see
The storm you brought
Was waiting for me

I should’ve known better
I let it in
Now I’m learning
How to breathe again

Breathe again

You wore your charm like armor
Hiding the truth
I believed the stories
Gave away my love

The warnings whispered
I didn’t listen
Now I’m alone in the wreckage
Of this lie

Now I’m learning how to breathe

Cause I fell for the lies
I didn’t wanna see
The storm you brought
Was waiting for me

I should’ve known better
I let it in
Now I’m learning
How to breathe again

No more pretending
No more games
I’ll burn the bridges
Forget your name

The scars you left
Won’t define me
I’m moving forward
Now I am free

I fell for the lies
I didn’t wanna see
The storm you brought
Was waiting for me

Now I’m learning how
To breathe again
Breathe again

I should’ve known better
I let it in
Now I’m learning
How to breathe again
