I know I have a bright future
I got potential in my hands
I should've heeded that warning
In the back of my mind
When I peeked around the corner and taken that glance
Now I can't look back

I've seen the whole picture
For just a second
Maybe two
It was a blur of a future
But now I'm panicking
I'm freaking out
And it's overwhelming

Breathe in
Oh what am I going to do
Breathe out
I wished for something I shouldn't have
Oh no!

I wish that I could take it back
To the times where they were so simpler
To the time where I had a simple life
But now I can't erase it from my mind
How one right move can make it right
It was an option that could happen
How one wrong move and its out of your sight
Breathe in
Breathe out

Breathe in
The room is spinning
Breathe out
Panic is winning
Breathe in
There's a tightness in my chest
Sight is blurring
Heart is pounding
Breathe out
Don't get me started with the rest

Breathe in
It was a mistake
Breathe out
I didnt mean for this to happen
Breathe in
Now I'm panicking

I'm trying to slow my panicked breath
But nothing is working
and I'm scared to death
Gotta take a breath
It's not over yet
There's panic in my mind
I don't want to forget
I don't want to leave my life behind

Stop pushing me that way
I just want to stay
I know I gotta grow up
but I'm just too afraid
I'm holding on
With all my might
But my fingers are slipping
And I'm losing the fight

Breathe in
I know it's for the best
Breathe out
But I'm not ready yet
Breathe in
I wish somehow time could wind down
Breathe out
I'd still have my family and my friends
But I don't want to leave them now
I don't want to be forgotten
I don't to be that person that was once known.
I want to be remembered.
I don't want to be alone.

I could be so bright
So full of life
But I don't know where to begin
Can someone point the way
Because I don't know what to do
And my growing worries are overwhelming

Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
Breathe out
