Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Half a glass on the table
Lipstick stain I don’t know
Your coat still hangs in the hallway
Like you’re due back any moment
I talk to the quiet air
Say your name into my hands
Every clock on the wall keeps asking
How long can a body stand
[Chorus]
I can’t take a breath without you
Chest won’t open
Lungs won’t move
Every inhale tastes like losing
Every exhale pulls me through
If I could drown in what we had
I’d sink back into you
I can’t take a breath
Can’t take a breath
Breath without you
[Verse 2]
Sheets still hold your outline
Cold side never gets warm
I reach and hit the absence
Where your heartbeat should be worn
Friends keep saying “you’ll be fine”
Like it’s something you decide
But your shadow sits at my table
Eating every bit of light
[Chorus]
I can’t take a breath without you
Chest won’t open
Lungs won’t move
Every inhale tastes like losing
Every exhale pulls me through
If I could drown in what we had
I’d sink back into you
I can’t take a breath
Can’t take a breath
Breath without you
[Bridge]
[Choir swells
Low and haunting]
Slide back into my dreaming (come back)
Where you still turn when I call
I wake up with your name bleeding
On the ceiling
On the walls
One more night
I swear I’ll let go
One more lie I tell my bones
Every beat inside me’s begging
For your footsteps coming home
[Chorus]
I can’t take a breath without you
Chest won’t open
Lungs won’t move
Every inhale tastes like losing
Every exhale pulls me through
If I could drown in what we had
I’d sink back into you
I can’t take a breath
Can’t take a breath
Breath without you
(I can’t take a breath)
Breath without you
