They said I would only die here
But you brought me home just the same
Sat me down beside the mirror
Three flowers down from the window pane
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't
Darling all my leaves have fallen
To the cigarette tray beside the drain
You come everday with water
And sing to me when you can
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I can't
Darling I can't breathe without you
I need to hear you say my name
The paint has chipped from all the windows
The leaves are clogging up the drain
These summer days are fading
The light is shorter everyday
And when the neighbours come to check on me
They'll say
Isn't it a shame
I can't breathe
I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
You need to give me water
I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
And it's easy to see
I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
You need to give me water
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
It's easy to see
I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
You need to give me water
I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
And it's easy to see
I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
You need to give me water
I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
And it's easy to see
I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
You need to give me water
I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
And it's easy to see
I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
You need to give me water
I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
And it's easy to see
I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
You need to give me water
I can't breathe, no I can't breathe
And it's easy to see
