Breathe Easy
Blue - T.R.W.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see the way he makes you smile
Cruel to the eye
Watching him hold what used to be mine
Why did I lie?
What did I walk away to find
Oh, why, oh why
I can't breathe easy
Can't sleep at night
'Til you're by my side
No I can't breathe easy
I can't dream yet another dream
Without you lying next to me
There's no air
Curse me inside
For every word that caused you to cry
Curse me inside
I won't forget, no I won't baby
I don't know why (don't know why)
I left the one I was looking to find
Oh, why, oh why, why
I can't breathe easy
Can't sleep at night
'Til you're by my side
No I can't breathe easy
I can't dream yet another dream
Without you lying next to me
There's no air
Out of my mind
Nothing makes sense anymore
I want you back in my life
That's all I'm breathing for
Oh tell me why
Oh won't you tell me why
I can't dream yet another dream
Without you lying by my side
There's no air
I can't breathe easy
Can't sleep at night
'Til you're by my side
'Cause I can't breathe easy
I can't dream yet another dream
Without you lying next to me
There's no air
There's no air.
