I've got to breathe You can't take that from me Cause it's all that you left that's mine You had to leave And that's all I can see But you told me your love was blind There are times You're so impossible that I should sign a waiver And you will find Someone worth walking on when you ask me to go [Chorus] I'll leave when the wind blows Take a breath and there it goes I'll be outside of your window I'll pass by but I'll go slow I'll leave when the wind blows There was a day You threw our love away Then you passed it to someone new You wanna stay But since you wanna play We can finally say we're through There are times you're so impossible and you ask me to go [Chorus] You can scream there's just echoes Pass outside of your window You'll be sad that you let me go I'll leave but just know As I lay in solitude Oh what's a boy supposed to do I shake the very thought of you Me together, I remember Late nights when I stayed up late All I do is wait and wait Your never coming home to me That's the hardest thing to see I got to breathe You can't take that from me We can finally say we're through [Chorus] You can scream there's just echoes Pass outside of your window You'll be sad that you let me go On every face you'll ever know And everywhere you ever go You'll feel when the wind blows
