Mountains (I Feel Like I Can Breathe Now) Lyrics

Feels like I'm talking to the walls again tonight, steady now

I've spent a lot of time just trying to make things right

I'm steady now

There's still some places on these walls that bear your name

It's fading now

There's things I've made for you that you won't ever claim

That's better now

All the things I've done that you won't ever see

All the changes you don't know you made in me

I climbed the mountains that I promised I would climb

I left the selfish insecurities behind

And I became the man I should have been back when you weren't mine, but you'll never know

You'll never know

I took the broken pieces you had left behind

I laid them out

The pieces made a stained glass window in my mind

And the sun came out

And the seeds that you laid down began to grow

And it birthed a garden a thousand acres wide, but you'll never know

I climbed the mountains that I promised I would climb

I left the selfish insecurities behind

And I became the man I should have been back when you weren't mine, but you'll never know

You'll never know

And then one day, all the weight on me wasn't heavy and I could breathe

Breathe

I feel like I can breathe now

Breathe

I feel like I can breathe now

I feel like I can breathe

It took a while for me to get to somewhere

Somewhere I felt like I was free

Somewhere without the clouds hanging over, casting a shadow over me

Now I can breathe

I feel like I can breathe now

I can breathe

I feel like I can breathe now

And when the torch that I had carried for you, the one you didn't even need

Began to drink all of the air from the room, I laid it down so I could breathe

Now I can breathe

I feel like I can breathe now

Like I can breathe

I feel like I can breathe now

Like I can breathe

I feel like I can breathe now

Like I can breathe

I feel like I can breathe now
