How Do I Breathe
Mario Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How do I breathe?
How do I breathe?

It feels so different being here
I was so used to being next to you
Life for me is not the same
There's no one to talk to
Don't know why I let it go too far
Starting over is so hard
Seems like everywhere I try to go
I keep thinking of you

I just had a wake up call
Wishing that I never let you fall
Baby, you were not the blame at all
When I'm the one that pushed you away

Baby, if you knew I care
You wouldn't have never went nowhere (nowhere)
Girl, I should've been right there

How do I breathe?
Without you here by my side
How will I see?
When your love brought me to the light
Where do I go?
When your heart's where I lay my head
When you're not with me
How do I breathe?
How do I breathe?

Girl, I'm losing my mind
Yes, I've made a mistake
I thought that you would be mine
Guess the joke was on me

I miss you so bad, I can't sleep
I wish I knew where you could be
Another dude is replacing me
God, this can't be happening

I just had a wake up call
Wishing that I never let you fall
Baby, you were not the blame at all
When I'm the one that pushed you away

Baby, if you knew I care
You wouldn't have never went nowhere (nowhere)
Girl, I should've been right there

And now I wonder

How do I breathe?
Without you here by my side
How will I see?
When your love brought me to the light
Where do I go?

When your heart's where I lay my head
When you're not with me (I say)
How do I breathe?
How do I breathe?

I should've brought my love home, girl
And baby, I ain't perfect, you know
The grind has got a tight hold
Girl, come back to me
'Cause girl, you made it hard to breathe
When you're not with me

Tell me, how do I breathe?
Without you here by my side
How will I see?
When your love brought me to the light
Where do I go?
When your heart's where I lay my head
When you're not with me
How do I breathe?

How do I breathe? (How do I breathe?)
Without you here by my side
How will I see? (How will I see you?)
When your love brought me to the light
Where do I go? (Where do I go?)
When your heart's where I lay my head
When you're not with me (you're not with me)




How do I breathe? (How do I breathe?)
How do I breathe? (yeah)
