[Verse 1]
You say it's easier
Alone and undisturbed
You said yes and danced before
And got your feelings hurt
You say most days you're good
It's not so bad, this room
Why chance the rain today
Even though it's clear and sunny?
And you fight it so hard
How to tell if it's real or not

[Chorus]
Take a breath and listen (Listen)
Open up, stop wishing (Wishing)
All that you've been missin' (Missin')
Standing in front of you
Everything you're fearing (Fearing)
All the walls you're building (Building)
Take a chance, your reasons (Reasons)
Standing in front of you (Standing in front of you)
Standing in front of you (Standing in front of you)

[Verse 2]
You start to sway again
Feeling good in your skin
You start to remember when
You didn't have to try
And then the glitter turns to dust
The color fades enough to make out pictures of a fire
That burns like love
You can close your eyes, don't worry
I'll still be here in the morning

[Chorus]
Take a breath and listen (Listen)
Open up, stop wishing (Wishing)
All that you've been missin' (Missin')
Standing in front of you
Everything you're fearing (Fearing)
All the walls you're building (Building)
Take a chance, your reasons (Reasons)
Standing in front of you (Standing in front of you)
Standing in front of you (Standing in front of you)

[Bridge]
And they won't break us
And they can't get through
'Cause I'm gonna be here
Standing in front of you

[Chorus]
Take a breath and listen (Listen)
Open up, stop wishing (Wishing)
All that you've been missin' (Missin')
Standing in front of you
Everything you're fearing (Fearing)
All the walls you're building (Building)
Take a chance, your reasons (Reasons)
Standing in front of you (Standing in front of you)
Standing in front of you (Standing in front of you)
Standing in front of you (Standing in front of you)

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
