They say you're in love when your lips finally meet
But I think I realized it when they finally parted
And I could not breathe
Because your beauty encompassed everything that I could ever need.

And I was fifteen when I loved you
My whole life before my eyes
You were altering my plans
I could not breathe without you
Trapped in the love you could never give.

That night I swear we seemed like lovers on the run
Just for fun
If we'd been caught nobody would've called the cops
We could've been honeymooning
Instead we ended up spooning and I could not breathe as you wrapped me in your arms and kissed my lips.
You loved me.

The nights are long and sleeplessly shallow
You don't miss me
And I need you
As I wallow in the pity of never being loved
By the man who built me from my demons
Blew away my sins and saved me from myslef
But I could not breathe because your demons grew deeper as the days passed.

What is love when it deystroys you
When you no longer can function
What is love when now I do not breathe in the halls
Or sleep in the nights
What is love when all I do is crave you
What is love when to you its lust and to me its a must
Depending on my need for your love that'll never happen.
I can not breathe.
