Breathe

I remember the first time
I breathed you in
I was never one for fairytales
But that night I was willing
To play any part

At a friend's place
You looked over at me
Had me with your first touch
My guard was knocked down
And the only strength
I had left became fragile

Silently yet softly
You kill me bit by bit
Oh your love
It breaks me down
But I act the prey
And you do it all over again

You like to see me delicate
The greater the flaw
Oh, each weakness gives you more
You adore them all
The shatterable and unsound

Committed to a cause
I was easy to be faithful for
In love with the girl you met
One night so long ago
I'm starting to choke but am bound

Silently yet softly
You kill me bit by bit
Oh your love
It breaks me down
But I act the prey
And you do it all over again

Taking you in
Your feeling seemed to save me
Do you remember the first time
You breathed me in
Will it hurt
When I get away

Silently yet softly
You kill me bit by bit
Oh your love
It breaks me down
But I act the prey
And you do it all over again

Breathe... I just want to breathe
I need to breathe, breathe, breathe...
