Breathe
If I could breathe you away
like a feather in the wind.
Would that signal the end
Or a new chapter to begin?
Would that bring an end to the pain
the endless tears I’ve shed
Or would it signal a fresh start
And a new life to be had?
Could that bring new meaning
new direction, new life
Would that cement that you’re gone
And no longer my wife?
Or would it mean that there’s hope
For a brighter, better us
Now that I’ve learned to feel
in this process I trust
What we’ve missed all these years
all our hurt deep inside
Stepping toward you now
I can no longer hide
When the person I’ve lost
has really been me
So much learned, so much gained
finally set my soul free
If I can breathe you away
I don’t know what I’d do
Cause this world isn’t the same
Not without you.
