Breathing
Clive Farrington Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talking all the time but not getting anywhere
Falling for and in and out of love
The breaking heart comes always hand in glove
I'm barely breathing... when I think about her
I'm barely breathing... when I think about her
A few small steps away, and then I'll be out of here
I'm walking back to freedom and I'm walking in the rain
I'm moving so my head is clear, 'cos I can't stand this pain
I'm barely breathing... when I think about her
I'm barely breathing... when I think about her
I'm barely breathing... when I think about her
I'm barely breathing... when I think about her
When I think about her...
Breathin' in but only breathing thin air
Talking all the time but not getting anywhere
Falling for and in and out of love
The breaking heart comes always hand in glove
I'm barely breathing... when I think about her
I'm barely breathing... when I think about her
I'm barely breathing... when I think about her
I'm barely breathing... when I think about her
I'm barely breathing...
