[Verse 1] Morning comes in pieces I count it on my hand Three steps to the doorway Then I pause and stand The cup sits by the window Cold water by the bed I teach my lungs to take it Slow as I can get [Pre-Chorus] Some days I feel it tighten Some days it lets me go I hold on to the little things I still can hold [Chorus] Breath by breath I’m still here Breath by breath I face the fear When the night gets heavy And the room feels small Breath by breath I make it through it all (Breath by breath) [Verse 2] Your hand around my shoulder Keeps me from the floor You don’t say it easy You just stay there more The hallway looks much longer When my chest turns hard But I have learned my rhythm Even on the hard [Pre-Chorus] Some days I feel it tighten Some days it lets me go I hold on to the little things I still can hold [Chorus] Breath by breath I’m still here Breath by breath I face the fear When the night gets heavy And the room feels small Breath by breath I make it through it all [Bridge] I won’t call this nothing I won’t call it light But I’m still loving Sundays Still reaching for the sky If I have to move more slowly Let the world move fast I’m learning how to live here And I’m learning that [Final Chorus] Breath by breath I’m still here Breath by breath I face the fear When the night gets heavy And the room feels small Breath by breath I make it through it all Breath by breath I’m still here Breath by breath I won’t disappear With your hand in mine I can face it all Breath by breath I make it through it all
