lyrics

"Breathe" by Alistair Goodwin

It ever lingers
You’ve got my heart wrapped in your fingers
And you squeeze

It lingers on
With a love so high, a love so strong
And well how can I ?

---

How d’you expect a love to last
When it’s grown so high, it grew so fast ?
And well how can I when I can hardly breathe ?

How d’you expect us to go on
With a love so high, a love so strong ?
And well how can I when I can hardly breathe ?

--

I can hardly speak
With a head so strong and a heart so weak
Well, how can I ?

Try to make a sound
But no words come out, I almost drown,
And well how can I swim ?
I can barely sleep.

---

How d’you expect a love to last
When it’s grown so high, it grew so fast ?
And well how can I when I can hardly breathe ?

How d’you expect us to go on
With a love so high, a love so strong ?
And well how can I when I can hardly breathe ?

---

It lingers on
With a love so high, a love so strong
And well how can I when I can hardly breathe ?

Head first and headlong
Deep into oblivion
I can’t seem to find my way out of here

Die cast, damage done
And it can’t be right if it feels so wrong
And I can’t go back, I can’t go on
Again

But it ever lingers
You’ve got my heart wrapped in your fingers
And you squeeze

You squeeze

---

How d’you expect a love to last
When it’s grown so high, it grew so fast ?
And well how can I when I can hardly breathe ?

How d’you expect us to go on
With a love so high, a love so strong ?
And well how can I when I can hardly breathe ?
