Matt Walden - Breathe.

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/293848
I haven't found a successful way to separate my mind at night verses the day
(verses the day, verses, verses, verses, verses)
The only way i'll get through this is with your kiss
The only thing that takes my pain away
(way, way, way)
They keep tellin' me to breathe
But none of them can see
What it's like inside my head
I can't help but ask myself
Would anything change, if i, were, dead?

I'm nervous
'cause maybe they won't like what they see
Every time i look in the mirror, there's always something else that's staring back at me
I keep struggling with these thoughts
Depression, please won't you stop
I just wanna stay alive so i can hear one day my kids callin' me pops
I'm not a failure
Nor am i who i once was
And i can feel the grace in the day, and that's god's way of saying "we're okay"
And i know today might seem like the worst
But if you think about it, you could be in a hearse
So take these words i have well rehearsed, listen when i say this verse
This pain is real and i know it hurts
But music saves, so know your worth
Don't be like me, don't be like me, don't be like me, in any way
Don't turn the page on this brand new day
Hope is trying to find it's way, in

So just breathe, like we used to
When they all knew, how much i loved you

So just breathe
(can't stop now, i'm not breathing)
Like we used to
(bleeding out, all my feelings)
When they all know
(you said this song was just too sappy to sing)
How much i loved you
(but, my fear of doubt leaves all my truth crumbling)

So just breathe
(can't stop now, i'm not breathing)
Like we used to
(bleeding out, all my feelings)
When they all know
(you said this song was just too sappy to sing)
How much i loved you
(but, my fear of doubt leaves all my truth crumbling)

So just breathe
(can't stop now, i'm not breathing)
Like we used to
(bleeding out, all my feelings)
When they all know
(you said this song was just too sappy to sing)
How much i loved you
(but, my fear of doubt leaves all my truth crumbling)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

When they all knew
(they all knew, all knew, all knew)
How much i
How much i loved you
Loved, you

Biography

edit bio
Music has always been my escape.

At the age of 15, I started writing songs in my room stemming from heartbreak and hormones. Posting originals and quick covers on YouTube of artists such as The Maine , All Time Low, & Ed Sheeran.

Come 2014, I moved out of the house and resided in my hometown of Bradenton, FL. to utilize the recording opportunities via the Del Couch Music Education Foundation. All in the meanwhile, building a small following via Vine (R.I.P.).

In the next few years, things got real.

I quit my job in 2015 to fully dedicate my time to creating music. During this time, some unfortunate events occurred & left me in a ‘homeless’ situation. Living on friends couches and spending each day in the studio working with Raven Chapman to create the ‘Life – EP’ released in 2015.

After that release, I had a bit of a revelation. Music was how I escape from all the rough patches in my life; what if I could help give that same type of escape to other people?

I wrote ‘Breathe.’ in October of 2016 about my dealings with suicide, depression & overall negative thoughts I had. Hoping to spark hope in not only myself but others who may be dealing with things similar to what I went through.

The goal is one thing. Create an escape for others.

Whether the songs are fun, sad, or confused; making each show & track about being someone else’s escape is the ultimate plan.
