[Verse 1]
When I close my eyes late at night
My mind drifts off to you
Staring at your photograph
All I remember is us
We used to be so good together
Somewhere we let it fade
Now I’m alone with the silence
Of everything we couldn’t say
[Pre-Chorus (beat drops, bass swells)]
You were the call when I was lonely
The one I knew would always stay
You held me up when I was breaking
Now you’re the reason I can’t escape
[Chorus (slow, heavy bass)]
I can’t breathe without you
There’s no air in my lungs
Love is fading slowly
And it’s pulling the air from my lungs
I’m frozen in this moment
I’m breaking apart
You were my air, my life source
Now you’re tearing it apart
[Verse 2 (stripped back beat)]
You were there when my world was falling
When I didn’t know how to stand
You were the place my heart ran to
When no one else could understand
Now you’re standing so far from me
Like I never mattered at all
I reach for what we used to be
But there’s nothing left to call
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a small space inside me
That still remembers your name
I keep asking what happened to us
When love slipped into pain
[Chorus (bass hits harder)]
I can’t breathe without you
There’s no air in my lungs
Love is fading slowly
And it’s pulling the air from my lungs
I’m frozen in this moment
I’m losing my heart
You were my air, my life source
Now I’m falling apart
[Bridge (beat almost drops out — just bass)]
What happened to us
How did we get this far
I’m gasping in the quiet
Reaching for who we are
Every breath feels empty
Every second feels wrong
I’m still trying to breathe
But the air is gone
[Final Chorus (full beat returns, slow and heavy)]
I can’t breathe without you
There’s no air left for me
Love is fading away
Into what we used to be
You were my air, my life source
The strength in my chest
Now I’m fading away
With no air left
[Outro (beat fades, bass hum, vocal only on last sentence)]
I’m suffocating in the space you left
Trying to breathe…
But there’s no air.
