Breathe Lyrics by Jessica Mauboy

Been Waiting (Deluxe Version)

2008

[Intro]
How can I, how can I breathe?
How can I, how can I breathe? yeah
[Verse 1]
I'm breakin' down a little
I'm throwin' in the towel
Need you to get me off the ground
You're sayin' that it's over
And we can't be together
But I really need you around
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Just stay a minute
And don't you let go of me
You take my breathe away, oh
I don't wanna be left on my own like this
I'm breathless
[Chorus]
Now I can't even breathe
I gave you all of me, but you won't let me breathe
You're killing me softly, breathe
Without you there's no need
So how can I breathe?
You're all the air I need, so let me breathe
[Interlude]
How can I, how can I breathe?
How can I, how can I breathe? Yeah
[Verse 2]
Was I supposed to know you're leaving me alone
And knew that it would end this way?
I'm lost without your lovin', I'm missing everythin'
Now you're so far away
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don't waste a minute
Just make your way home to me
Don't take my breath away
Why'd you wanna leave me on my own like this?
I'm breathless
[Chorus]
I can't even breathe
I gave you all of me, but you won't let me breathe
You're killing me softly, breathe, yeah, uh
Without you there's no need
So how can I breathe, hey?
Oh, you're all the air I need, so let me breathe
[Interlude]
How can I, how can I breathe? Yeah
How can I, how can I breathe? Yeah
[Bridge]
I don't wanna be here no more
Ever since you walked out the door
You took away my heart
You're tearing me apart
Thought you were all I need
You're all that I'm waiting for
So I waited for tomorrow
Until you come back to me
[Chorus]
So you can let me breathe, hey
I gave you all of me, let me breathe
You're killing me softly, breathe
Without you there's no need
So how can I breathe?
You're all the air I need, so let me breathe
[Outro]
Let me breathe
Just let me breathe
Won't you let me breathe?
Let me breathe
