I can barely breathe when you are near
And I'm really, really, really scared you're gonna disappear
I can't breathe when you are near
♪
I don't know how to tell you
There's a million things I wanna say
From the moment I met you my heart grew
And I think of you every day
I can barely breathe when you are near
When my life was in the darkness
And as you suddenly appeared
You say words that I wanna hear
I can barely breathe when you are near
I try to write a letter
But nothing ever comes out right
If I find a way to make you feel better
You'll let me stay here and I
I can barely breathe when you are near
And I really, really like the words you whisper in my ear
All I want is you right here
But I can barely breathe when you are near
You're everything and more to me
That's all I wanted you to know
And when I hold you tightly
I'll never let you go
I can't breathe when you are near
And I really, really wanna drown your worries and your fears
With you, I cry no tears
And I can barely breathe when you are near
