It's been thirty seven days Since you turned and walked away Baby you were foolish You were wrong You should've made it better You broke the promise you made 'Cause you were jealous and afraid Baby I was rising You let me down We should've stood together Now I can't breathe if I'm not breathing with you I can't sleep if all I'm dreaming is you Can't you see I've got no air without you I can't breathe I can' breathe So I cracked and called you today And the tears froze on my face 'Cause you said we were over You were so cold We should've been forever Now I can't breathe if I'm not breathing with you I can't sleep if all I'm dreaming is you Can't you see I've got no air without you I can't breathe I can't breathe We could have everything But all we got is heartache and pain I can't catch my breath It's getting harder to speak You should be proud of me But you're too insecure and too vain We should've been forever I wanted you forever Now I can't breathe if I'm not breathing with you I can't sleep if all I'm dreaming is you Can't you see I've got no air without you I can't breathe I can't breathe
