Breathe
Blu Cantrell · Other Songs - Blu Cantrell
you say you love me
say you love me
but you're never there for me, yea mm hmmm
but you'll be crying
slowly dying when i decide to leave uh ohhh
b-section:
all we do is make up
then break up
why don't we wake up
and see
when love hurts
it won't work
baby we need some time alone
we need to let it breathe
hook:
breathe
breathe
breathe
breathe
verse 2:
you're only lonely
when your homie
ain't got a ride or no loot (yea) uh huh
then comes the drama
some other girl is claming she's
going out with you
b-section:
all we do is make up
and then break up
why don't we wake up
and see
when love hurts
it won't work
maybe we need some time alone
we need to let it breathe
hook:
breathe
breathe
breathe
breathe
breathe
breathe
hook:
baby we need some time alone
so we could just breathe
let it breathe
breathe
breathe
breathe
ohhh ohh ohhh
breathe
breathe
