Breathe (Taylor’s Version) Lyrics by Taylor Swift

Fearless (Taylor’s Version)

2021

[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]
I see your face in my mind as I drive away
'Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way
People are people and sometimes we change our minds
But it's killin' me to see you go after all this time

[Break: Taylor Swift]
Mm, mmm
Mm, mmm

[Verse 2: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat]
The music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie
It's the kind of endin' you don't really wanna see
'Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down
Now I don't know what to be without you around

[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat, Taylor Swift]
And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand

[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat, Taylor Swift]
And I can't breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you, but I have to

[Verse 3: Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat]
Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt
Every little bump in the road, I tried to swerve
But people are people and sometimes it doesn't work out
And nothin' we say is gonna save us from the fallout

[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat, Taylor Swift]
And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand

[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat, Taylor Swift]
And I can't breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you, but I have to

[Bridge: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat, Taylor Swift]
It's 2 AM, feelin' like I just lost a friend
Hope you know it's not easy, easy for me
It's 2 AM, feelin' like I just lost a friend
Hope you know this ain't easy, easy for me

[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat, Taylor Swift]
And we know it's never simple, never easy
Never a clean break, no one here to save me
Woah

[Chorus: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat, Taylor Swift]
I can't breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you, but I have to
Breathe without you, but I have to

[Outro: Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat, Taylor Swift]
I'm sorry, I'm sorry (Mmm), I'm sorry (Yeah, yeah), I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry (Ooh), I'm sorry
