Hold Your Breath Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I told you to remember me
You said beneathe the master plan
I listened to your disbelief
And everything that should mean something
Fell off, get on, and on, and on it's gross

[Chorus 1]
And it's playing me out
I know this fits
But when you put it together
Somewhere in the middle, I can't
Give you what you
Left behind
But I'll breathe you in

[Verse 2]
Didn't I touch your soft curves?
That old mess you'll give to him
All these guys remember just your thoughts
Just your skin
What keeps you cold, keeps me
If we're both right this can't be wrong
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on

[Chorus 2]
I know this fits
But when you put it together
Somewhere in the middle, I can't
Give you what you
Left behind
But I'll breathe you in
[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
If this is not yours
Then why do I feel this way?
Two times you've used the back door
Two times I've waited for you

[Chorus 3]
I know this fits
But when you put it together
Somewhere in the middle, I can't
Give you what you
Left behind
But I'll breathe you in

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Yeah, hold your breath
And pigent cold looks good
Yeah, hold your breath
The way they think you should
Yeah, hold your breath
And pigent cold looks good
Yeah hold your breath
And don't stop to breathe me in! (Yeah!)
[Chorus 4]
I know this fits
But when you put it together
Somewhere in the middle, I can't
Give you what you
Left behind
But I'll breathe you in
(I'll breathe you in)
Yeah!

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
