Verse 1 |  I shut the door, yeah, I shut it slow,I shut the door, let your last words go,Now the room gets quiet, finally quiet down below.I shut the door, felt the lock go clean,Yeah, I shut the door, felt the lock go clean,Didn’t know how heavy all that talk had been.

 

Verse 2 | I light a cigarette, let the smoke run free,Yeah, I light a cigarette, let the smoke run free,For the first damn time, it’s just the room and me.I pour some red wine, watch it hit the glass,Yeah, I pour that red wine, let the evening pass,Every little second feelin’ lighter than the last.

​

Chorus | I breathe myself back, slow and warm,Yeah, I breathe myself back, no right or wrong.Don’t know this woman in the mirror —but she’s been here all along.

​

Verse 3 | Old guitar cryin’ through the radio,Yeah, that old guitar cryin’ soft and low, Every song tonight knows what I don’t know.I sway a little sideways, not tryin’ to be right,Yeah, I sway a little sideways in the low dim light,A little drunk, a little free, a little out of sight.

 

Verse 4 | Your cheap cologne still hangin’ in the hall,Yeah, your cheap cologne still hangin’ on the wall,Funny how it don’t hurt me now at all. What did I do stayin’ that long with you? Yeah, what did I do, baby, stayin’ that long with you? Guess I learned somethin’ — but I paid my dues.

 

Bridge |  I see her move across the floor,don’t quite know her name.She ain’t broken, she ain’t fixed,she just ain’t the same.

​

Chorus I I breathe myself back, slow and warm,Yeah, I breathe myself back, no right or wrong.Don’t know this woman in the mirror — but she’s been here all along.
