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 wanna be
Like who I was
Chorus:
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
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 story book is better off with pages still unwritten
It stares at me
Like my reflection
Oh oh
Truth you'll see
Because like a blessing
Chorus:
I want to breathe again
I want to dream again
Want something beautiful
To make it all meaningful
I want to dare to leave
Give me the chance to give
All that I have to life
And all that I am
And all of these
We were together
Our love was free
Nothing can measure
So the heart is ...
... unbearably without you
We lost ourselves
Drowned in illusion
And we couldn't see
Cause we sank to the bottom
But I reached the surface
Before it could wash me away
Chorus:
I want to breathe again
I want to dream again
Want something beautiful
To make it all meaningful
I want to dare to leave
Give me the chance to give
All that I have to life
And all that I am
All that I am
