Exhale
Elle Vee Lyrics

For a minute I been holding my breath
I've been keeping my feelings and emotions trapped for a while

Waiting to let it out
Anticipating the moment to release and express myself

Something I could never forget
An unforgettable experience or situation

You wouldn't talk about oh oh oh oh
You refused to discuss or address the issue

You wouldn't listen to me oh oh oh oh
You neglected to hear my thoughts and feelings

I always had to bite my tongue
I constantly had to hold back my true thoughts and opinions

Hard till it would bleed
To the point of causing pain and suffering

Was always keeping my eyes
I consistently avoided confronting the situation

Shut counting to three like is it over yet
Counting to distract myself, hoping the ordeal would end

Oh oh oh oh i didn't make a sound
I remained silent, not expressing myself

I don't want to hold it back
I no longer want to suppress my emotions

Cause I'm so done with that now I can exhale
Because I'm finished with that situation, now I can finally release my emotions

I'm not gonna keep inside
I refuse to continue hiding

Everything you made me hide now I can exhale
All the things you forced me to conceal, I can now let go of

So I feel like I'm walking on air
A sense of floating and freedom

I'm who I want to be
I've become the person I've always desired

Took awhile now that I'm there
It took some time, but now that I've arrived

I couldn't feel more free oh oh oh oh
I've never felt so liberated

It all comes down to karma oh oh oh oh
This is a consequence of past actions

There's no more drama
No more unnecessary conflicts or complications

I let go of all of the things
I've released all the burdens and attachments

That used to tie me down
Those things that once held me back

I found the courage to
I discovered the bravery to

Change everything around oh oh oh oh
To transform my entire life

You, you, you were toxic oh oh oh oh
You were harmful and detrimental

I had to stop it, stop it, stop
I needed to put an end to it

I ain't holding back no more
I'm no longer withholding myself

Tell me what my lips are for
To speak my truth and express my desires

You can't hurt me like before
You no longer have the power to harm me as you did in the past

You can't, no you can't break in
You are unable to invade or influence my life now

Now I can exhale now I can exhale
Finally, I can release and let go of everything

I can breathe, I can exhale
I can now breathe freely and completely let go
