BREATHE AGAIN

If I never feel you in my arms again,
if I never feel your tender kiss again,
if I never hear "I love you" now and then,
will I never make love to you once again?
Please understand, if love ends,
then I promise you, I promise you that, that I shall never breathe again.

Breathe again, breathe again, that I shall never breathe again.
And I can't stop thinking about,

about the way things used to be,
and I can't stop thinking about,
about the love that you made to me.
And I can't get you out of my head;
how in the world will I begin
to let you walk right out of my life
and throw my heart away?

And I can't stop caring about,

about the apple of my eye,

and I can't stop doing without,

without the center of my life.

And I can't get you out of my head,

and I know I can't pretend that

I won't die if you decide you won't see me again.
If I never feel you in my arms again,

if I never feel your tender kiss again,

if I never hear "I love you" now and then,

will I never make love to you once again?

Please understand, if love ends,

then I promise you, I promise you that,

that I shall never breathe again.

Breathe again, breathe again, that I shall never breathe again.
And I can't stop thinking about,

about the way my life would be.

No, I can't stop thinking about,

how could you love me then leave?

And I can't get you out of my mind,

God knows how hard I've tried,

and if you walk right out my life,

God knows I'm sure to die.

And I can't stop doing without,

without the rhythm of my heart.

No, I can't stop doing without,

for I will surely fall apart.

And I can't get you out of my mind,

and I know I can't deny,

and I would die if you decide you won't see me again.
