Breathe Lyrics

[Intro: Brian]
We're not over

[Verse 1: Kevin]
The roses you left me
Slowly fading to grey
You're coat on the chair
And the scent of your hair I miss
The clock on the wall
It reminds me of all the better times
When we walked in the park
And we whispered in the dark
And we laughed and cried

[Pre-Chorus: Kevin]
And I never knew alone
Wherever you are is home

[Chorus: All]
Without your lips on mine
No the sun doesn't shine
And no I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Your words are a symphony
Music that sings to me
No I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
[Verse 2: AJ]
Oh, I walked by the store
Where we sat on the floor
And we ate like kings
And someone said hey
We're locking the door
No time to play

[Pre-Chorus: AJ]
And I never knew alone
Wherever you are is home

[Chorus: All]
Without your lips on mine
No the sun doesn't shine
And no I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Your words are a symphony
Music that sings to me
No I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe

[Interlude: Brian]
We're not over
We're not over

[Bridge: Brian]
Without your lips on mine
No the sun doesn't shine
And no I can't...
You know I can't breathe yeah!

[Chorus: All & Brian]
Without your lips on mine
No the sun doesn't shine
(You know I can't breathe yeah)
And no I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Your words are a symphony
Music that sings to me
No I can't breathe
I can't breathe
(We're not, we're not over)
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
(Oh you are, you are my life)
I can't breathe
(Don't say it's over, don't say it's over, yeah!)

[Outro: Brian]
Oh-oh, we're not over...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
