Reason For Breathing
If I cried like a baby, would you change your mind?
If I told you I'm crazy, would you come running back to me?
The harder I try to break away, the more I get lost in yesterday
The man that you knew is just a shell
'Cause living without your life is hell
I turn on the radio just to take the hurt away
Another night and I'm missin' you, girl, it's killin' me
I don't wanna die tonight
But I think I might be going down
'Cause the only one I ever cared about
Is nowhere to be found
I don't wanna close my eyes
'Cause I might not see the light of day
I'm almost out of air
You're my reason for breathing
You're my reason for breathing
I don't wanna go clubbing
No no, 'cause I got no one to dance with me
And I don't wanna go shopping
'Cause I got no one to spend money on
Spending my time with one glass of wine
Playing solitaire just to ease my mind
Poured one for you, but I drank that too
Anything to kill the pain of losing you, oh, baby
I turn on the radio just to take the hurt away
Another night and I'm missing you, girl, it's killin' me
I don't wanna die tonight
But I think I might be going down (I don't wanna die tonight)
'Cause the only one I ever cared about
Is nowhere to be found (Nowhere to be found)
I don't wanna close my eyes
'Cause I might not see the light of day (She's the light of day)
I'm almost out of air
You're my reason for breathing (You're my reason for breathing)
You're my reason for breathing
So I'm reaching out on this distant line
Hoping deep inside your heart's gonna find the reason (Yeah)
To keep me breathing (Breathing, I'm so tired)
But I'm lost in this pain, and I don't have much time
I'm so tired of walking that same old line
So I'm taking my pride, gonna throw it aside
Please, let me breathe girl, I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
I don't wanna die tonight
But I think I might be going down
'Cause the only one I ever cared about (The only one I ever cared about)
Is nowhere to be found (Nowhere, nowhere to be found)
I don't wanna close my eyes (I don't wanna close my eyes)
'Cause I might not see the light of day (Ooh)
I'm almost out of air (I'm out of air, I'm out of air, baby)
You're my reason for breathing
You're my reason for breathing
I don't wanna die tonight
But I think I might be going down
'Cause the only one I ever cared about
Is nowhere to be found (My reason for breathing)
I don't wanna close my eyes
'Cause I might not see the light of day (I might be going down, baby)
I'm almost out of air
You're my reason for breathing
If I told you I'm crazy, would you come running back to me?
The harder I try to break away, the more I get lost in yesterday
The man that you knew is just a shell
'Cause living without your life is hell
I turn on the radio just to take the hurt away
Another night and I'm missin' you, girl, it's killin' me
I don't wanna die tonight
But I think I might be going down
'Cause the only one I ever cared about
Is nowhere to be found
I don't wanna close my eyes
'Cause I might not see the light of day
I'm almost out of air
You're my reason for breathing
You're my reason for breathing
I don't wanna go clubbing

'Cause I might not see the light of day (I might be going down, baby)
I'm almost out of air
You're my reason for breathing
