All I wanna do is call you
But I don’t think you wanna know
You said you’re leaving, said it’s over
I been crying wishing you’d come home
Tell me it’s not too late, for us
Tell me we got more I just can’t get enough
Tell me maybe you still love me
It’s all that I been thinking of
I only miss you when I'm breathing
Every breath is coming slow
Every day feels like I'm dreaming
But when I get to hold you close
You give me something to believe in
And I need something like nobody knows
I only miss you when I'm breathing
Every breath is coming slow
Don’t you hate the way it’s over
Don’t you hate to be alone
I thought you told me you weren’t ready
To take the world on on your own
Hold me steady I keep falling
I can’t keep going and I can’t let go
Hold me up and make it better
Don’t tell me you don’t wanna know
I only miss you when I'm breathing
Every breath is coming slow
Every day feels like I'm dreaming
But when I get to hold you close
You give me something to believe in
And I need something like nobody knows
I only miss you when I'm breathing
Every breath is coming slow
Lately I’ve been second guessing every second that we spent
Alone
All those things you told me, were they all just made up stories
Tell me did you love me at all?
Tell me were you lying when you told me you were thinking of me only baby
Tell me when did you let me go
Have I been holding out for something that ain’t there anymore
I only miss you when I'm breathing
I only miss you when I'm breathing
Every breath is coming slow
Every day feels like I'm dreaming
But when I get to hold you close
You give me something to believe in
And I need something like nobody knows
I only miss you when I'm breathing
Every breath is coming slow
I only miss you when I'm breathing
Every breath is coming slow
