[Verse 1] My feet ache where they meet the floor My shoulders hold more than before The cold is sitting in my bones today But here I am — I'm still the same Still wearing sparkles, still my name Still finding something soft inside the grey [Pre-Chorus] So this is happening And yes it's real But it doesn't get to choose The way I feel [Chorus] A girl who breathes Just breathes and that's enough Who holds the ache And still believes in soft and lovely stuff She doesn't need the sky to clear completely To find her shimmer in the in-between A girl who breathes Just breathes And still she gleams [Verse 2] The day has thrown its worst at me And I have catalogued each thing carefully And placed them all exactly where they go Not in my heart — they can sit over there While I find something gentle in the air A bath, a warmth, a something soft and slow [Pre-Chorus] So this is happening I see it all But it doesn't get the sparkle When I fall [Chorus] A girl who breathes Just breathes and that's enough Who holds the ache And still believes in soft and lovely stuff She doesn't need the sky to clear completely To find her shimmer in the in-between A girl who breathes Just breathes And still she gleams [Bridge] Not pretending it will all be fine Not asking for a different life than mine Just putting every hard thing in its place And keeping all the sparkle for this space [Final Chorus] A girl who breathes Just breathes and that's enough Who holds the ache And still believes in soft and lovely stuff She doesn't need the sky to clear completely To find her shimmer in the in-between A girl who breathes Just breathes And still she gleams Still she gleams
