I know the sound, the echoes of heartache I’m searching for a love that won’t break I’ve been down a road of shattered dreams I’ve tried to find solace in others’ eyes But it’s time to break from those ties I want to be the first to truly see, me
 
I want to be the first to love me the right way To cherish every part of who I am each day No more settling for less than I deserve (repeat) I won’t seek validation from outside I’ll be my own source of love and pride I’ll be the first to hold my heart and love myself fully It’s a journey of discovering myself Learning to love myself unconditionally I’ll be gentle, patient and kind
 Truer love I can’t find 
I want to be the first to love me the right way To cherish every part of who I am each day No more settling for less than I deserve (repeat) I’ll be the first to acknowledge my own worth To love myself and give birth
 To a love that’s all pure, genuine and true 
I’ll be the first to love me, it’s long overdue Long long long overdue I know my own worth, I know my own worth 
I want to be the first to love me the right way To cherish every part of who I am each day No more settling for less than I deserve (repeat) (I’ve been lost in the shadows of others’ desires Now it’s time to stoke my own fires I’ll embrace my flaws and scars
 For they are all a part of me)

We danced in the fire, your toxic embrace
 You played your games, left scars in your wake A master manipulator, a smile on your face You used and abused, took all that you could Now watch me standing tall But I found my strength, you thought I would not I won’t break no more We can't be friends anymore, it's not possible I've closed the door You thought you had power, you wanted control Got my freedom, it's time to let me go You played with my heart, with no remorse or care You think you've won, you're just gone But I've reclaimed my worth and I'm no longer there You're no longer here The scars run deep and the pain lingers still (karma's a force and you can't disguise yourself) But I've found my voice and I've had my fill, my fill We can't be friends anymore, it's not possible I've closed the door You thought you had power, you wanted control Got my freedom, it's time to let me go So here's my farewell, with heart set free No longer a victim, no longer deceived Justice comes, turns your world around and upside down I found my strength, my spirit restored, universe knows From this day forward you will be ignored, ignored (though you were before) I know you don't believe me You won't believe me but it's over (it's over, it's over, it's over) It's over (over and over and over)

Just Breathe 03:20
Through all the chaos Through all the storms, I hear a whisper, gentle and warm It calls for me to release Find my centre, find my peace In a world that spins at a relentless pace, I yearn for a break, a way to escape With every breath, my spirit ascends, 
I feel my connection to the universe 
Breathe, let it all fall away 
Inhale the stillness, let the worries decay Exhale the doubts, let them dissipate Breathe, just breath In the rhythm of my breath, a sacred dance Every rise and every fall of my chest I reclaim, through the birth and death Through all the chaos Through all the storms, I hear a whisper, gentle and warm It calls for me to release Find my centre, find my peace Through the ebbs and flows 
I can find this serenity, again and again With each exhale, I surrender more With each inhale, oh, I’m reborn 
Breathe, let it all fall away 
Inhale the stillness, let the worries decay Exhale the doubts, let them dissipate Breathe, just breath In the rhythm of my breath, a sacred dance Every rise and every fall of my chest I reclaim, through the birth and death In the rhythm of my breath, a sacred dance Every rise and every fall of my chest I reclaim, through the birth and death In the rhythm of my pace A sense of grace With every rise and fall of my step
 A sacred space To find a place
 To guide me through
