So this song holds a lot of meaning in my life and certain events that took place in the past few months. I find it easiest to write songs when I'm passionate about something! I really hope you like this. It's in response to my first original, 'Nineteen'. Thank you all so much for your support!! I appreciate and love all of you :)

Alex :)

Lyrics:
You were my all, you were my everything.
You needed me like water, you needed me to breathe.
I gave you my heart, I gave you the best of me.
But the closer I became, the less I could see.

Now it stares at me, like my reflection.
It's who I want to be, not who I was.

I want to breathe again, I want to dream again.
Want something beautiful, to make it all meaningful...

I know your pain, and it kills me to break you.
But I'm waking up, and the sky's still blue.
Letting go doesn't always mean you'll fall.
And my storybook is better off with pages still unwritten.

And it stares at me, like my reflection.
Oh the truth you see, it cuts like a blade.

I want to breathe again, I want to dream again.
Want something beautiful, to make it all meaningful.
I want to dare to live, give me the chance to give,
All that I have to life. And all that I am..

And all of the years, we were together,
Our love was for real. Nothing could measure.
So the hardest part's admitting I'm better without you.
We lost ourselves drowned in illusion,
and we couldn't see as we sank to the bottom.
But I reached the surface before it could wash me away.

Chorus

  • I cried so hard listening to this song, because it explains exactly everything about what I'm going through now. My last relationship was an emotionally abusive one, and he was so great at manipulating me into believing I wasn't good enough. I loved him with everything I ever had, and though it's hard to move on from something you've given up everything for...it's for the best. It's my turn to breathe and my turn to live. Thank you for writing such a beautiful and meaningful song.

  • I LOVE BETWEEN 3:13 - 3:50. INCREDIBLE VOICE AND WANDERFUL A SONG. ALEX <3

  • Describes me with my ex. I cried every night for 4 months . I couldn't enjoy my vacations because I was so depressed all I could think about is what he was doing at home. I know what it's like , you put your all in someone and they throw it away . Here's the thing: One day you'll find someone that makes you get over them . It takes time. It's been 8 months, and I'm so much better. Have hope Alex (: . <3
