Learning to Feel Again
Pop piano ballad: a raw, emotional male voice over simple, moving piano chords that swell with strings and drums into a big final chorus. Heartfelt and vulnerable, with lyrics about being let down by someone you trusted and learning to feel again.
Lyrics
I left the porch light on for years.I kept a seat at every table.You told me stories I believed,Before the truth became unstable.Now the silence is a heavy weight,And the house is getting cold.I finally had to lock the gate,On a promise you never pulled.Learning how to breathe again.Walking through the pouring rain.It’s a long way back to me.Learning how to breathe.Learning how to breathe again.Letting go of all the pain.Finally finding how to be.Learning how to breathe.The garden died in late July.I forgot to watch the water level.I spent my days asking why,While dancing with a friendly devil.But I saw a green leaf yesterday,Pushing through the frozen ground.I think I’m gonna be okay,Now that you’re not around.Learning how to breathe again.Walking through the pouring rain.It’s a long way back to me.Learning how to breathe.Learning how to breathe again.Letting go of all the pain.Finally finding how to be.Learning how to breathe.It’s not a race to the finish line.It’s just a slow climb up the hill.I’m taking back what’s mine,Standing perfectly still.Learning how to breathe again.Walking through the pouring rain.It’s a long way back to me.Learning how to breathe.Learning how to breathe again.Letting go of all the pain.Finally finding how to be.Learning how to breathe.
