Reason For Breathing
George Benson(조지 벤슨) Lyrics

If I cried like a baby would you change your mind?
If I showed how vulnerable I am and how deeply I need you, would you reconsider your decision to leave me?

If I told you I'm crazy would you come running back to me?
If I revealed my vulnerable and unstable side, would you take pity on me and come back to me?

The harder I try to break away, the more I get lost in yesterday
The more I try to move on from you, the more I keep reliving the past and getting stuck in it.

The man that you know is just a shell, living without your life is hell
The person you knew before is now a hollow shell of himself because living without you is unbearable and torturous.

I turn on the radio just to take the hurt away
I try to distract myself from the pain of missing you by listening to music.

Another night and I'm missing you
Even after all this time, I still feel the same level of longing and loneliness without you.

Girl, it's killing me, well
My love for you is so intense that it's causing me immense emotional pain and distress.

I don't want to die tonight, but I think I might be going down
I don't want to give up on life, but the pain and despair of losing you is weighing so heavily on me that it feels like it might overwhelm me.

'Cause the only one I ever cared about is nowhere to be found
You are the most important person to me, and losing you has left me feeling lost and alone.

I don't want to close my eyes 'cause I might not see the light of day
I don't want to give up on hope and optimism, but the darkness of my current situation feels like it might be all-consuming.

I'm almost out of air
The pain and despair of missing you feels so suffocating and overwhelming that it feels like it's taking away my breath.

You're my reason for breathing
You are the most important and essential thing in my life, and losing you would be like losing the very thing that gives me life and purpose.

I don't want to go clubbing, I got no one to dance with me
I don't enjoy the usual social activities because they only remind me of how much I miss being with you and how lonely I feel without you.

I don't want to go shopping, I got no one to spend my money on
Even the simple pleasures of life are meaningless without you to share them with, and I feel like I have no purpose or joy in life without you.

Spending my time with one glass of wine
I try to numb the pain of losing you by indulging in self-destructive behaviors and substances like alcohol.

Playing solitaire just to ease my mind
I try to distract myself from my pain and loneliness by engaging in solitary activities, but it only reminds me of how much I miss having you by my side.

Poured one for you, but I drank that too
I try to honor your memory and my love for you by drinking to you, but I end up drinking myself into a state of numbness and oblivion.

Anything to kill the pain of losing you
I am willing to do whatever it takes to escape the overwhelming pain and despair of losing you, even if it means indulging in self-destructive and unhealthy behaviors.

So I'm reaching out on this distant line
I am desperately trying to make contact with you, even though it feels like you are far away and unreachable.

Hoping deep inside your heart's gonna find a reason
Hoping against hope that you might still love me or find a reason to come back to me.

To keep me breathing
I need your love and affection to keep me alive and feeling like there is still hope and purpose in life.

But I'm lost in this pain and I don't have much time
I feel like I am drowning in my pain and despair, and that there might not be much time left for me to find a way out of it.

I'm so tired of walking this same old line
I am exhausted and drained from the endless cycle of pain and despair that I have been trapped in since losing you.

So I'm taking my pride, gonna throw it aside
I am willing to let go of my pride and confess my vulnerability and need for you, in the hopes that it might bring you back to me.

Please let me breathe girl, I'm sorry
I am asking for your forgiveness and your love, hoping that it might give me the strength and hope to keep breathing and living.

Baby girl, don't leave me standing here
I am pleading with you to not abandon me and to understand the depth of my love and need for you.

I'm barely breathing, girl, I'm running out of air
I am at the end of my rope and feel like I am running out of time and hope for finding a way out of my overwhelming pain and despair.
