Lyrics

Why Do I Breathe
(Vikki Lee)

CAN A HEART GO ON BEATING
WHEN YOU GIVE IT AWAY
HOW DO LIPS GO ON SPEAKING
WHEN THERE'S NO WORDS TO SAY
WHEN ARMS REACH FOR NOTHING
BUT WHAT USED TO BE
TELL ME, WHY DO I BREATHE?

CAN A MIND GO ON THINKING
WHEN IT WON'T UNDERSTAND
HOW DO I LET GO
WHEN I GAVE YOU MY HAND
WHEN THERE'S NOTHING LEFT STANDING HERE
WHAT USED TO BE ME
TELL ME, WHY DO I BREATHE?

OH AND IT HURTS SO BAD
AND ALL THAT I'M FEELING IS YOU

CAN A HEART GO ON BEATING
WHEN YOU GIVE IT AWAY
HOW DO LIPS GO ON SPEAKING
WHEN THERE'S NO WORDS TO SAY
THERE'S NOTHING TO HOLD ME NOW
WHY CAN'T I BE FREE
TELL ME WHY DO I BREATHE?
