Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eh Eh Eh
You-Oh you-Oh you-Oh
You-Oh Oh Oh
If you ever been in love
Then you know just what I'm talking about
Except when you really know you finally found the person you want
I thought I've been there before
But now that I'm sure, I finally found somebody who cares
I've given my heart and my soul to her
An I just want the whole world to know
You're the reason that I breathe
I want you to know that
If you were to leave, then I couldnt go back
My life will be incomplete without you here
You're the reason that I breathe
Ladies if you got a man
Fellas if you got a girl
Why don't you tell em that they mean the whole world to you you you you eh eh eh eh eh
Tell em you the reason that I breathe
The feeling you get when you call them and they don't answer
And you feel like you're whole worlds about to stop stop
And you can't believe somehow, somebody makes you feel this way
I'm talking about
You can't eat (eat)
You can't sleep (sleep)
You can't think at all
(you can't sleep at all)
Their like the puzzle that's been missing in your life
Why don't you look em in they eye
And tell them
Your the reason that I breathe
I want you to know that
If you were to leave then I couldnt go back
My life will be incomplete without you here
You're the reason that I breathe
Ladies if you got a man
Fellas if you got a girl
Why don't you tell em that they mean the whole world.. to you.. you you you
Tell em your the reason that I breathe
I was broken before I meet you
Now I'm not stressing like I use to
And I gotta say
That you made my life much better
I can barely breathe
I can barely breathe
When your not with me
Ooooooh ooooooh oh
You're the reason that I breathe
I want you to know that
If you were to leave then I couldnt go back
My life will be incomplete without you here
You're the reason that I breathe
I said I could barely breathe I want you to know that if you were to leave then I couldn't go back my life would be incomplete without you here tell em your the reason that I breathe
If you got a man
Or if you got a girl
Why don't you tell that they mean the whole world to you... you you you you I said
If there's somebody out there who feels like me put you're hands up and tell em you're the reason that I breathe
