Learning To Breathe

(Verse 1)
Empty chair at the table tonight
I still hear your laugh in the quiet
I reach for your hand, but it's gone
And the nights feel a thousand years long

(Pre—Chorus)
I keep asking myself if I'll ever feel whole
But the pieces of you still carry my soul

(Chorus)
I'm learning to breathe without you beside me
Learning to stand when the memories try me
The pain doesn't fade, but I'm starting to see
I'm not the same—
I'm learning to breathe

(Verse 2)
Photographs fade but the feelings remain
Every street I walk whispers your name
But I won't let the sorrow define
The love that still burns deep inside

(Pre—Chorus)
Every sunrise reminds me I'm still alive
And maybe that means there's a chance to survive

(Chorus)
I'm learning to breathe without you beside me
Learning to stand when the memories try me
The pain doesn't fade, but I'm starting to see
I'm not the same—
I'm learning to breathe

(Bridge)
One step at a time, I'm finding my way
Through the darkness, I'll carry your flame
Your voice in my chest tells me "don't be afraid,"
Love never dies—it just changes its name

(Final Chorus)
I'm learning to breathe without you beside me
Learning to live when the shadows remind me
The ache never leaves, but it's setting me free
Through all the pain—
I'm learning to breathe
