Breathe Lyrics by Olly Alexander

Communion (Super Deluxe)

2015

[Refrain]
What's that supposed to be about, baby?
Go free up your vibe, stop acting crazy
Reminiscing on the good times daily
Try and pull that, got me actin shady
What's that supposed to be about, baby?
Go free up your vibe, stop acting crazy
You know I give you that good loving daily
Try and pull that, got me actin shady

[Verse 1]
You say you love me, say you love me
But you're never there for me
Yeah, uh
And you'll be crying, slowly dying, when I decide to leave
Yeah, uh

[Chorus]
All we do is make up, then break up
Why don't we wake up and see when love hurts, it won't work?
Yeah, maybe we need some time alone
We need to let it breathe

[Refrain]
What's that supposed to be about, baby?
Go free up your vibe, stop acting crazy
Reminiscing on the good times daily
Try and pull that, got me actin shady

[Verse 2]
You're only lonely when your homie ain't got a ride or no loot
Yeah, uh
Then comes the drama
Some other girl is claiming she's going out with you
Mmmm

[Chorus]
All we do is make up, then break up
Why don't we wake up and see when love hurts, oh, it won't work?
Yeah, maybe we need some time alone
We need to let it breathe

[Break]
We need to let it breathe
Mmm, we need to let it breathe, mmm, oh

[Refrain]
What's that supposed to be about, baby?
Go free up your vibe, stop acting crazy
Reminiscing on the good times daily
Try and pull that, got me actin shady
What's that supposed to be about, baby?
Go free up your vibe, stop acting crazy
You know I give you that good loving daily
Try and pull that, got me actin shady

[Breakdown]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, we need to let it breathe
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, we need to let it breathe

[Outro]
You say that you love me, that you love me
But you're never there for me
Hmm
And you'll be crying, slowly dying, when I decide to leave, uh
Oh, we need to let it breathe
