Playjerise Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could be wrong
But you were not the person that I knew
Whoa what a waste of my time
This wouldn't happen if you would open up and let me in

(Chorus)
Whoa what a waste and I
Struggle along

Struggle along without you
Struggle along whoa oh
Struggle along without you
'Coz I ooh hoo
I can't breathe when you are not here
Oh I ooh hoo
I can't breathe when you are not here

Oh I
I wouldn't know
If you could change my world
For the better or the worse

(2nd chorus)
Whoa what a waste and I
Struggle along
Struggle along without you
Struggle along whoa oh
Struggle along without you
'Coz I ooh hoo
I can't breathe if you are not here
Oh I ooh hoo
I can't breathe if you are not here

I can't breathe

I can't breathe if you are not here x2
You're not here x2

I could be wrong
I may have misjudged the situation

But you were not the person that I knew
You have changed from the person I used to know

Whoa what a waste of my time
The time spent with you was not worthwhile

This wouldn't happen if you would open up and let me in
Our relationship would be better if you would be more open and honest with me

Whoa what a waste and I
I feel like our relationship was a waste of time

Struggle along
I am now enduring difficulty in life

Struggle along without you
I am struggling with life without your support

Struggle along whoa oh
I am struggling with life and it is overwhelming

Coz I ooh hoo
Because I feel intense emotions

I can't breathe when you are not here
I feel suffocated and lost without you
