How do I breathe? How do I breathe? Feels so different being here I'm so used to being next to you Life for me is not the same There's no one to talk to Don't know why I let it go too far Starting over is so hard Seems like everywhere I try to go I keep thinking of you I just had a wake up call Should have never let you fall Baby, you were not the blame at all When I'm the one that pushed you away Baby if you knew I care You wouldn't have never went nowhere Girl I should have been right there How do I breathe? Without you here by my side How will I see? When your love brought me to the light Where do I go? When your heart's where I lay my head When you're not with me How do I breathe? How do I breathe? Girl I'm losing my mind Yes I've made a mistake Thought that you would be mine Guess the joke was on me Miss you so bad I can't sleep I wish I knew where you could be Another dude is replacing me God this can't be happening I just had a wake up call Should have never let you fall Baby, you were not the blame at all When I'm the one that pushed you away Baby if you knew I care You wouldn't have never went nowhere (nowhere) Girl I should have been right there And now I wonder How do I breathe? Without you here by my side How will I see? When your love brought me to the light Where do I go? When your heart's where I lay my head When you're not with me (I say) How do I breathe? How do I breathe? I should’ve brought my love home, girl And baby I ain’t perfect, you know The grind has got a tight hold, girl, come back to me ‘Cause girl you made it hard to breathe when you’re not with me Tell me, how do I breathe? Without you here by my side How will I see? When your love brought me to the light Where do I go? When your heart's where I lay my head When you're not with me How do I breathe? How do I breathe? Without you here by my side How will I see? When your love brought me to the light Where do I go? When your heart's where I lay my head When you're not with me How do I breathe? How do I breathe?
