Breathing Won't Come Easy

One day, you said breathing would come easy
One day, you said I'd reconcile
Ingrained pressures maintain shallow comfort
You said, one day, I'd reconcile
Call it will, but i can't seem to
Formulate these words I'm told
Will help me to escapte this state
It sways the way I overcompensate
For fear of getting overwhelmed
I'm getting overwhelmed
Smaller now
So I can't reach the expectations placed on me
This brace will sway and break in time
This common scene that mocks my inability
To follow through
Breathing won't come easy
One day, you said breathing would come easy
One day, you said I'd reconcile
Ingrained pressures, maintain shallow comfort
But you said, one day I'd reconcile
Transfer these troubles outward
They've stood their ground
Now I should stand mine
So I explore measures to restore
Impressions that I want to leave now
So I transfer these troubles outward
They've stood their ground
Now I should stand mine
This I know
One day, you said breathing would come easy
One day, you said I'd reconcile
Ingrained pressures maintain shallow comfort
You said, one day I'd reconcile
So hard to unwind
What's locked inside
Too long to reconcile
What's locked inside
