Breaking At the Seams
To Be Juliet's Secret Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why would you save me?
You found me dying
You could see my heart was breaking at the seams
How could you-
Why would you save me?
It seems you're seeing something we could be
Why would you save me?
You found me dying

You could see my heart was breaking at the seams
How could you-
Why would you save me?
It seems you're seeing something we could be

All alone,
I find myself running and little did I know
That it was straight to you
And all alone,
I find myself crying
Can I ask if you could hear me

Cause I think you could
All alone,
I finally stopped running
And I swear I could hear you breathing.

I'll close my eyes
And let you take the lead
I'm glad I lost my way tonight

Why would you save me?
You found me dying
You could see my heart was breaking at the seams How could you-
Why would you save me?
It seems you're seeing something we could be

Why would you save me?
You found me dying
You could see my heart was breaking at the seams How could you-
Why sould you save me?
It seems you're seeing something we could be
(Well I'll close my eyes)

Cause you're the one to take me
Now it's too late
(And let you take the lead)
I wouldn't dare to try and breathe without you
I wouldn't dare to try and breathe without you
Save me
Well I'll close my eyes
('Cause you're the one who saved me')
I'm dying at the seams
And let you take the lead
I'm breaking at the seams
(I'm breaking at the seams)
(I wouldn't dare to try and breathe)
Breathe without you

Save me
(Cause you're the one that saved me)
I'm dying at the scene
I'm breaking at the seams
Breathe without you?
Save me
(Cause you're the one that saved me)
I'm dying at the scene
I'm breaking at the seams
Breathe without you?
Save me
I'm dying at the scene
I'm breaking at the seams
How can I breathe without you?
Save me
I'm dying at the scene
I'm breaking at the seams




How can I breathe without you?
End
