You Can't Breathe without Air

by Margo Tarr   Jul 30, 2006


There was something that I needed,
That only one person could give.
Like air is to breathe,
I needed it to live.

I did all that I could,
But it wasn't enough.
All that I did,
Without it was rough.

When someone you love,
Doesn't believe a word you say,
It does something to your heart,
That's not good in any way.
A painful feeling inside,
That won't seem to go away.

Knowing that he would even consider,
Someone else's word over mine,
How could he love me,
When he thinks I'm lying all the time.

I don't question his love,
I believe it exists.
I have more than enough,
Reasons to list.

I just don't understand,
How these 2 go together
Love without trust,
Won't last forever.
Why put yourself through it,
When you could find something better.

Someone you don't have to question,
Someone you trust
Cause when your're in love.
This is a must.

But me on the other hand,
Will have to suffer,
I just can't decide,
Which will be tougher.

To keep being accused
While only being true,
Or live my life in pain
Because I don't have you.

Cause I just can't find someone new
I might get the trust I want,
But I only want it from you.

It wouldv'e been perfect,
If you wouldv'e gave it from the start.
Cause soon I won't have much love to give,
With my broken heart.

So once again I'm asking,
For the owner to let go.
The last time I'm asking,
I hope he doesn't say no.

If after all this time and all my tears,
The answer still is no.
I can't continue to hurt,
I have to say bye and go.

The hardest thing I would ever have to do,
But you have no idea,
How painful this is to go through.

I need you to give it to me,
It's something you have to do,
I can't breathe without air,
I can't live without you.
