Perishless - I Learned to Breathe Without You (Official Visualizer)

Lyrics: I built my world around your name, Forgot the man I used to be. Every road led back to you, Every dream was make-believe. I called your silence "peace of mind," I called your distance "holding on." I gave away the best of me, Until I couldn't tell what was gone. Every shadow wore your face, Every memory pulled me down. I thought I'd never find the air... Until I learned not to drown. I learned to breathe without you, One broken heartbeat at a time. The air still burns inside my lungs, But this shattered life is mine. Your ghost still walks beside me, But it no longer leads the way. I learned to breathe without you... And I'm still here today. The nights are cold, the streets are bare, But they don't feel like prison now. I'm finding pieces of myself, In every scar you left somehow. The mirror shows a different soul, Not the one you used to know. You took the fire from my hands... You never touched the flame below. I stopped waiting for your voice, Stopped chasing what was never mine. Some wounds don't disappear... They simply change with time. I learned to breathe without you, One broken heartbeat at a time. The air still burns inside my lungs, But this shattered life is mine. Your ghost still walks beside me, But it no longer leads the way. I learned to breathe without you... And I'm still here today. I was drowning... Thinking you were the ocean. You were only the storm. You broke my heart... Not my future. You stole my smile... Not my soul. Look at me now... I'm still breathing. I learned to breathe without you, The pain became a part of me. Not every ending is a failure... Sometimes it's how we're finally free. You'll always live inside my past, But you'll never own my tomorrow. I learned to breathe without you... And I won't borrow back my sorrow. I searched for you in every breath... Until I found myself instead.
