Breathe

(Breath your love)

I've gotta come down,

I've been awake for far too long.

My eyes look torn,

They were so strong.

I wore the crown,

I wrote the song

Now it's fading.

My heart was open

Like a window to a summer breeze.



I breathed your love.

I filled my lungs and veins

And I breathed your love

Until I felt the pain

And like rain

It slipped away.



I tried to find out

What love was really all about.

Behind the curtain waits the sky.

It's rare I feel enough to cry,

I'm drying up inside.

My life was open

Oh! like a window to the summer breeze.



I breathed (I breathed) your love.

I filled my lungs and veins

And I breathed (I breathed) your love

Until I met the pain and like rain (breathe)

It slipped away

Just like a little rain.



I breathed (I breathed) your love.

And nothing stayed the same.

Yes, I breathed (I breathe) your love

And filled my heart in vain

Cos like rain it slipped away, oh yeah

Just like rain it swept away



(Breathe your love) I breathed your love

And nothing stayed the same

(Breathe your love) Oh I breathed your love

Just like a little rain it slipped away

Oh I breathed.
