Breathe

You were my all
You were my everything
You needed me like water
You needed me to breathe
I gave you my heart
I gave you the best of me
But the closer I became
The less I could see
Now it stares at me
Like my reflection
It's who I want to be
Not who I was
I want to breathe again
I want to dream again
Want something beautiful
To make it all meaningful
I want to breathe
I know your pain
And it kills me to break you
But I'm waking up
And the sky's still blue
Letting go doesn't always mean you'll fall
And my storybook is better off
With pages still unwritten
And it stares at me
Like my reflection
Oh the truth you see
It cuts like a blade
I want to breathe again
I want to dream again
Want something beautiful
To make it all meaningful
I want to dare to live
Give me the chance to give
All that I have to life
And all that I am
And all of the years
We were together
Our love was for real
Nothing could measure
So the hardest part's admitting I'm better without you
We lost ourselves drowned in illusion
And we couldn't see
As we sank to the bottom
But I reached the surface
Before it could wash me away
I want to breathe again
I want to dream again
Want something beautiful
To make it all meaningful
I want to dare to live
Give me the chance to give
All that I have to life
And all that I am
All that I am
Ooh, whoa
Hmmmm
