​breathe Lyrics by ​Elimako​

2019

[Verse 1]
Don't wanna pretend that I'm someone I'm not
But when I'm with you, it feels like I have to pretend
You're contagious 'cause your insecurity's so big
And so I become insecure too at the end

[Chorus]
Yeah, I wanna breathe in, but I can't
Wanna be me, but I am
Not myself when I'm with you
Look what you turn me into
Wanna breathe in, but I can't
Wanna be me, but I am
Full of fear 'cause of your hate
When I'm with you, I am afraid

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause you and, yeah, you
Takin' my breath away
Takin' my breath
But takin' it in a bad way

[Verse 2]
Actually, I like myself in contrast to you
You're trying to hide it, act spiteful and think it is cool
Might be workin' at the first but at the second it don't
I'm realisin' more and more that's not what I want

[Chorus]
Yeah, I wanna breathe in, but I can't
Wanna be me, but I am
Not myself when I'm with you
Look what you turn me into
Wanna breathe in, but I can't
Wanna be me, but I am
Full of fear 'cause of your hate
When I'm with you, I am afraid

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause you and, yeah, you
Takin' my breath away
Takin' my breath
But takin' it in a bad way
You takin' my breath
Takin' my breath away
Takin' my breath
Takin' it in a bad way

[Verse 3]
Takin' my breath and you takin' my space
'Cause your complexes make you to pretend yourself
Yeah, it's takin' my breath, takin' my space to be myself
So I act like I was anyone else there

[Chorus]
Yeah, I wanna breathe in, but I can't
Wanna be me, but I am
Not myself when I'm with you
Look what you turn me into
I wanna breathe in, but I can't
Wanna be me, but I am
Full of fear 'cause of your hate
When I'm with you, I am afraid

[Post-Chorus]
Takin' my breath
Takin' my breath away
Takin' my breath
Takin' it in a bad way
You takin' my breath (I wanna breathe in, but I can't)
You takin' my breath away (You takin' my breath away)
Takin' my breath (I wanna be me, but I can't)
You takin' it in a bad way

[Outro]
I wanna breathe in, but I can't (I wanna be me, but I can't)
You takin' my breath away (I wanna be me, but I can't)
I wanna be me, but I am— (I wanna be me, but I can't)
You takin' it in a bad way
