Ooh
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Ooh
Do-do-do-do-do
Sand keeps slipping right through my hands
Days all feel the same
Still numb from you
First step off of this plane, I knew
I suffocate without you
Heart beats for two
It was good (was good)
What we had (what we had)
If it was paradise, can somebody take me back? (take me back)
And it hurts (it hurts)
Looking back (looking back)
If this is for the best, then tell me why it hurts so bad (hurts so bad)
Don't let go when the daylight's gone
'Cause it's always darkest before the dawn
I breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, oh
When the cold air starts filling up my lungs
When I hate the things that I've become
I breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe, oh
Ooh
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Ooh, ooh
Do-do-do-do-do
Regrets dancing around my head
Everything I never said
Still numb from you (from you, from you, from you)
Secrets sleeping all over this bed (over this bed)
Memories of what we did (what we did)
Come into view (oh-woah)
And it hurts (it hurts)
Looking back (looking back)
If this is for the best, then tell me why it hurts so bad (hurts so bad)
Don't let go when the daylight's gone (light's gone)
'Cause it's always darkest before the dawn
I breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe (oh, I breathe)
When the cold air starts filling up my lungs (my lungs)
When I hate the things that I've become
I breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe (oh, I breathe)
Ooh
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Ooh, ooh
Breathe (oh, I breathe)
Ooh
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Ooh, ooh
Breathe
Sand keeps slipping right through my hands
Days all feel the same
Still numb from you
