Let Me Breathe
J-Marin Lyrics

I know you've walked in my shoes
I understand that you have experienced the same things I have

And get just what I'm feeling
And you truly understand the emotions I am experiencing

I know you've brought me up
I am aware that you have raised me

To always do the right things
And taught me to always make morally correct choices

You don't need to solve all of my problems
You don't have to fix all of my issues

I can try
I am capable of handling them on my own

Let me feel naïve, let me feel alive yeah!
Allow me to experience innocence and excitement

I just need a little more space
I simply require some personal freedom

To live my life
To live and experience my own existence

And make my own decisions
And have the autonomy to make choices for myself

Looking through my eyes, oh
Viewing the world from my perspective

I'm not trying to break your trust
I am not intentionally betraying your confidence

It's all I need
This freedom is everything I require

But I'm growing up now
However, I am maturing and evolving

So let me breathe, oh
So please grant me the space to breathe and be myself

I can make the right choices
I have the ability to make correct decisions

'Cause of all you taught me
Because of the lessons you have instilled in me

And you know that I'm always going to call
And you are aware that I will reach out to you

If I say I will
When I promise to do so

You don't need to stay up and worry
You don't have to stay awake and be concerned

I'll be alright
I will be fine

Let me feel naïve, let me paint the skies
Allow me to experience innocence and create my own dreams

You have been my safety
You have been my source of security

My protector from the start
Shielding me from harm since the beginning

There's no way, no one
There is no possibility, no other person

Could try replacing you in my heart
Who could try to replace the love I have for you

'Cause you've been there for me
Because you have always been there to support me

You've always cared for me
You have continuously shown me love and concern

And I will never let you down
And I promise to never disappoint you

I just need a little more space
I simply require some personal freedom

To live my life
To live and experience my own existence

And make my own decisions
And have the autonomy to make choices for myself

Looking through my eyes, oh
Viewing the world from my perspective

I'm not trying to break your trust
I am not intentionally betraying your confidence

It's all I need
This freedom is everything I require

But I'm growing up now
However, I am maturing and evolving

So let me breathe, oh
So please grant me the space to breathe and be myself

I just need a little more space
I simply require some personal freedom

To live my life
To live and experience my own existence

And make my own decisions
And have the autonomy to make choices for myself

Looking through my eyes, oh
Viewing the world from my perspective

I'm not trying to break your trust
I am not intentionally betraying your confidence

It's all I need
This freedom is everything I require

But I'm growing up now
However, I am maturing and evolving

So let me breathe, oh
So please grant me the space to breathe and be myself

I just need a little more space
I simply require some personal freedom

To live my life
To live and experience my own existence

And make my own decisions
And have the autonomy to make choices for myself

Looking through my eyes, oh
Viewing the world from my perspective

I'm not trying to break your trust
I am not intentionally betraying your confidence

It's all I need
This freedom is everything I require

But I'm growing up now
However, I am maturing and evolving

So let me breathe, oh
So please grant me the space to breathe and be myself
