let some air in

Hey there girl, here's a little song for ya
Keep in mind that it's only my words
I want to tell you a little bit about me
I was once lost, gone from the centre
couldn't tell what direction I was going in
Followed the signs of another man's promise
Yeah another man's promise

Oh I turn to the outside for answers
But I knew I could only find within
And the question grew like a cancer
Making my mind and my body lame
I wish there was a backway out
I wish there was a backway out

I turn to the mirror to find me
Then close my eyes again
then I open the window behind me and let some air in

Held my breath as I swam to the surface
The higher I got the stronger the current
I was so afraid that I'd drown
As I was slowly sinking back down

I look to the sky for the answers
that I knew I could only find within
And I put all my hopes in tomorrow
as I didn't know where to begin
I wish there was a backway out
I wish there was a backway out

I turn to the mirror to find me
Then close my eyes again
then I open the window behind me
and let some air in
Oh let some air in
let some air in (7x)

I turn to the outside for answers
that I knew I could only find within
and the question grew like a cancer
making my mind and my body lame
I wish there was a backway out
I wish there was a backway out

I turn to the mirror to find me
Then close my eyes again
then I open the window behind me
and let some air in

Then I turn to the mirror to find me
Then close my eyes again
then I open the window behind me
and let some air in
Let some air in (4x)
