Only When I Breathe Lyrics by One Desire

Midnight Empire

0

Everything I wanted is in pieces on the ground
Everything I thought I knew is turned upside down
Oh, you give me your reasons why our love had to die
The things you said divide us were somewhere in your eyes
But I'm a fighter
I back down from no one
I’ll shine brighter
And this is how I feel
Now that we've come undone
I will survive
Break a thousand times
No, I won't surrender
If it takes me forever
I won’t fade away
Take thе easy way
I don't need your sympathy
'Cause now it only hurts when I brеathe
Breathe, breathe
Now it only hurts when I breathe
Ho, oh
We battled for control, but it slipped through our hands
Was it always meant to vanish like castles in the sand?
Oh, oh, there must be a better way than to rip our world apart
'Cause every word that cuts us leaves a lifetime of scars
But I'm a fighter
I back down from no one
I'll shine brighter
And this is how I feel
Now that we've come undone (We've come undone)
I will survive
Break a thousand times
No, I won’t surrender
If it takes me forever
I won’t fade away
Take the easy way
So I don't need your sympathy
Cause now it only hurts when I breathe
Breathe, breathe
Now it only hurts when I breathe
Everything I wanted is in pieces on the ground
Everything I thought I knew is turned upside down
I will survive
Break a thousand times
No, I won’t surrender
If it takes me forever
I won't fade away
Take the easy way
Cause I don't need your sympathy
Now it only hurts when I breathe
Breathe, breathe
Now it only hurts when I breathe, yeah, oh
And now it only hurts when I breathe
