breathe
6obby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah I love you but I don′t know if it's worth it
Giving all I got but I don′t think you deserve it
Don't know why I stay, all you do is hurt me
Tell me that you'd never leave, just to go desert me

Yeah
Choked up and I′m turning blue
Feeling like I can′t breathe when I'm next to you
Cut me deep with your words and watch me die
Tell me that you love me even though it′s just a lie

Break my heart
Tear it from inside
Baby you could take advantage
I don't even really mind (yeah)
Back in school used to love my time
Things have really changed
And now you′re used to passing me aside
Say you miss me just to hurt me
Wanna give me time but to be honest
It ain't working
I just really wanna sleep now
Trapped and overthinking
And I′m drowning in the deep now
I been thinking I just want out
Jaded, I can't focus and I don't know where to go now (yeah)
Things are tough but try to make it
Healing takes some time, so I remember to be patient

I′m just stuck inside
All the words that you said
Replaying in my mind
When you told me that you loved me
For the first time
I′mma throw it all away
Leave it all behind

Yeah I love you but I don't know if it′s worth it
Giving all I got but I don't think you deserve it
Don′t know why I stay, all you do is hurt me
Tell me that you'd never leave, just to go desert me

Yeah
Choked up and I′m turning blue
Feeling like I can't breathe when I'm next to you
Cut me deep with your words and watch me die
Tell me that you love me even though it′s just a lie

Choked up and I′m turning blue
Feeling like I can't breathe when I′m next to you




Choked up and I'm turning blue
Feeling like I can′t breathe when I'm next to you
