Breathe Again
Toni Braxton · Toni Braxton
(Chorus)
If I never feel you in my arms again,
If I never feel your tender kiss again,
If I never hear I love you now and then,
Will I never make love to you once again?
Please understand... if love ends,
then I promise you, I promise you that
that i shall never breathe again,
breathe again, breathe again,
that i shall never breathe again
And I can't stop thinking about
about the way things used to be,
and i can't stop thinking about,
about the love that you made to me,
and i can't get you out of my head,
how in the world will i begin
to let you walk right out my life
and blow my heart away?
and i can't stop caring about
about the apple of my eye
and i can't stop doing without
without the center of my life
and i can't get you out of my head
and I know I can't pretend,
that I won't die if you decide
you won't see me again
(Chorus)
And I can't stop thinking about
about the way my life would be,
No, I can't stop thinking about,
how could you love me then leave?
and i can't get you out of my mind,
God knows how hard I've tried,
and if you walk right out my life
God knows I'd surely die
and i can't stop doing without
without the wailing of my heart
no i can't stop doing without
for i would surely fall apart
and i can't get you out of my mind
and I know I can't deny it
and I would die if you decide
you won't see me again...
(Chorus)
If I never feel you in my arms again,
If I never feel your tender kiss again,
If I never hear I love you now and then,
Will I never make love to you once again?
Please understand... if love ends,
then I promise you, I promise you that
that i shall never breathe again,
breathe again, breathe again,
that i shall never breathe again
And I can't stop thinking about
about the way things used to be,
and i can't stop thinking about,
about the love that you made to me,
and i can't get you out of my head,
how in the world will i begin
to let you walk right out my life
and blow my heart away?
and i can't stop caring about
about the apple of my eye
and i can't stop doing without
without the center of my life
and i can't get you out of my head
and I know I can't pretend,
that I won't die if you decide
you won't see me again
(Chorus)
And I can't stop thinking about
about the way my life would be,
No, I can't stop thinking about,
how could you love me then leave?
and i can't get you out of my mind,
God knows how hard I've tried,
and if you walk right out my life
God knows I'd surely die
and i can't stop doing without
without the wailing of my heart
no i can't stop doing without
for i would surely fall apart
and i can't get you out of my mind
and I know I can't deny it
and I would die if you decide
you won't see me again...
(Chorus)
