Don't Stop to Breathe
Parabelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when you side step the questions do you break a leg?
when the time has passed on another day
did you fall that far just to pave the way?
and all of the things that you said to me
and all of the ways that you make believe
that the life that we shared hasn’t come unglued in front of us
stop making a mess
stop making it worse
stop living a lie
just to kill a curse
and I will be the one your heart mistaken
let it go
and I don’t know what kind of shape you’re in
or who will tell you what you want to hear
not me, I’ll live but you’ll know the hurt
when the picture in my hand says
it’s over now can you feel it too
when what you say isn’t what you do
the time hasn’t come yet to say goodbye
not for us
stop making a mess
stop making it worse
stop living a lie
just to kill a curse
and I will be the one your heart mistake
don’t stop to breathe
if you’re gonna leave just leave
I believe in what I see
if you’re gonna leave just leave, just leave
and I will bury you, I will bury you
we both know how it feels
and the fallout will bury you
stop making a fight
stop making it right
and I will be the one your heart forgotten
stop making a mess
stop making it worse
stop living a lie
just to kill a curse
and I will be the one your heart mistaken
let it go
stop making a mess
stop making it worse
stop living a lie
just to kill a curse
and I will be the one your heart mistaken
let it go
Don't stop to breath
I will bury you
there’s a place in my heart where we could be better off alone
I will bury you
let it go
The song "Don't Stop to Breathe" by Parabelle is a passionate and emotional plea for honesty and authenticity in a relationship that has been strained by lies and unfulfilled promises. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and disappointment with a partner who seems to be evading important questions and perpetuating a cycle of hurt and betrayal. The singer urges their partner to stop living a lie and to stop making things worse by avoiding difficult conversations and actions.
The chorus asserts the singer's willingness to let go and move on from the toxic relationship, but also acknowledges the pain and difficulty of doing so. The final lines of the song suggest a sense of closure and acceptance, as the singer declares their intention to "bury" the past and let it go. Overall, "Don't Stop to Breathe" is a poignant and heartfelt exploration of the challenges and complexities of love and loss.
