[Verse 1] I cut myself open just to see If there was something left in me Been holding it together way too long Singing every line like nothing’s wrong My chest gets tight when you walk by Like the wind just left my life Didn’t know I was running on empty Till you showed me what air feels like [Pre-Chorus] I put my faith where my breath was Yeah, I let you settle in I let you live right in my lungs Now every breath brings you back again [Chorus] You were the air I was breathing You were the ground under me When I was falling apart inside You were the one thing holding me You were the air when I needed Something real to believe in Now you’re gone, I’m wide awake Standing here and I can’t breathe [Verse 2] I trusted the weight of your hand in mine Trusted time would be on our side I let you past the lines I drew Now all that’s left is the shape of you My heart beats loud in an empty room Every breath comes a second too soon I don’t need reasons, I don’t need blame I just need air that still knows my name [Pre-Chorus] You filled me up, you lifted me Made me feel ten feet tall Now I’m shouting into all this space But I don’t feel much at all [Chorus] You were the air I was breathing You were the ground under me When I was coming undone at night You were the one thing holding me You were the air when I needed Something real to believe in Now you’re gone, I’m wide awake Standing here and I can’t breathe [Bridge] I’m tired of gasping in the dark Trying to restart this heart I’m still here but I feel halfway gone Like a song with the chorus wrong I gave you my breath I gave you my chest I let you in where it hurt the most You filled me up You lifted me high Then let go and watched me float Now I’m on my knees Just trying to breathe Trying not to fade away If you’re still my air Say my name Or let me drift away [Final Chorus] You were the air I was breathing You were the ground under me You gave me life, you pulled me in Yeah, you were everything You were the air when I needed Something real to believe in Now you’re gone, I’m wide awake Standing here and I can’t breathe [Outro] No air, no air No air left in me I can’t breathe… I can’t breathe…
