You keep telling me what you need
Gotta give me
Give me room to breathe
I just wish this anxiety would leave
Gotta give me
Give me room to breathe
All these expectations I gotta meet
Gotta give me
Give me room to breathe
I'm sorry I'm not who I oughta be
Gotta give me
Give me room to breathe

God damn
The stress is eating at me, I strive for being happy
I'm struggling to breathe, on the inside I'm laughing
Comic relief cause the pain never leaves
Always red in the face, I think of memories
Where I wasn't so independent, my hands weren't shaking
My nerves weren't shot, my inbox wasn't vacant
My pockets weren't chasing to keep a roof over my head
But one false move and you rapidly losing your bread
Like, I got a college degree
But the student loans flooding my checking account, I'm swallowing teeth
Polishing whiskey, why my past mistakes keep following me?
Anxiety meds ain't working, that is when my tolerance leaves
This year been tougher than a mother, thirty years of this shit
Still the same fuck-up I always been, got a beard and a crib
Watch the tears as they drip, everyone tells me enjoy life while I can
But years past without a kid and smile, I can't

It's what I want though, want though
It's what I want though, want though
It's what I want though, want though
It's what I want though

You keep telling me what you need
Gotta give me
Give me room to breathe
I just wish this anxiety would leave
Gotta give me
Give me room to breathe
All these expectations I gotta meet
Gotta give me
Give me room to breathe
I'm sorry I'm not who I oughta be
Gotta give me
Give me room to breathe

God damn
The stress is eating at me, I strive for being happy
I'm struggling to breathe, on the inside I'm laughing
Anxiety, she's a bitch, I try not to let her win
I tried to avoid medicine but I've been better with
Melatonin to help me close my eyes, hope to survive
I mean I rose through cries, chose to fight, i wrote new lives
To help me cope with my broken pride
Spoken through the vocals of a hopeless ride
No surprise right?
What's it gonna take to have a baby in my arms
With my eyes, with my looks, can you save me from this harm
Of not knowing the outcome, can't be in this house, sun
Beaming through the windows so I get off the couch, run
Until I'm out of breath, struggling to catch it
Cold inside even with a heater and a sweatshirt
While we on the subject, the only thing that I'd allow to kill my dream
Iis a child yet I try to rush it, It's what I want though

It's what I want though, want though
It's what I want though, want though
It's what I want though, want though
It's what I want though

You keep telling me what you need
Gotta give me
Give me room to breathe
I just wish this anxiety would leave
Gotta give me
Give me room to breathe
All these expectations I gotta meet
Gotta give me
Give me room to breathe
I'm sorry I'm not who I oughta be
Gotta give me
Give me room to breathe
