[Verse 1] I kept my hands around the flame Like holding on would keep it warm But every time I pulled it close It only needed a little more Not more reasons Not more words Not another promise to believe Sometimes love gets tired of being held And only needs some room to breathe [Pre-Chorus] So I won’t push the night away I won’t ask the silence why If something true is still alive It does not have to rise tonight [Chorus] Give it room to breathe Give it room to breathe Not every wounded heart Is asking you to bleed Let it rest Let it be What still belongs to love Will find its way to breathe [Verse 2] I used to call it falling apart When nothing moved the way I planned But maybe peace is not control Maybe mercy opens hands You can’t hurry What is healing You can’t sing a flower from the seed Some things only come back gently When you give them room to breathe [Pre-Chorus] So I won’t chase the morning light I won’t drag it through the door If it comes, it comes softly Not because I begged for more [Chorus] Give it room to breathe Give it room to breathe Not every wounded heart Is asking you to bleed Let it rest Let it be What still belongs to love Will find its way to breathe [Bridge] Maybe what we called goodbye Was only space between two hands Maybe what we could not say Was something silence understands If the fire is still inside It will not need to make a scene Love can whisper back to life When you give it room to breathe [Chorus Reprise, same intensity] Give it room to breathe Give it room to breathe Not every open door Is somewhere you must leave Let it rest Let it be What still belongs to love Will find its way to breathe [Outro] Let it rest Let it be Hold it soft And let it breathe
