Breathe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't want you to think that I see through you
When all I see is the reflection of who you are not
I never asked you to contemplate all the things
Whispered in secret while sitting with you in the park

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I find out who you are
I lose you in the dark
Though you're not too far
You're further to admire

[Chorus]
But I breathe easily in your arms
But I breathe easily where you are

[Post-Chorus 1]
Just breathe
Breathe in
Just breathe
Breathe in
Just


[Verse 2]
Help me in ways of submission
My body's itching to press on the bruises you hide with a smile
Love to incessantly hate me
I'll cry, but just for a while
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I find out who you are
I lose you in the dark
And now you've gone too far
Your shadow is alive

[Chorus]
But I breathe easily in your arms
But I breathe easily where you are

[Post-Chorus 2]
Just-
Just-
Just breathe
Breathe in
Just breathe
Breathe in
Just breathe
Breathe in
Just breathe
Breathe in
Just breathe

[Chorus]
But I breathe easily in your arms
But I breathe easily where you are
But I breathe easily in your arms
[Outro]
(But I breathe easily where you are)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

The 3rd track off of FKA twigs' 1st EP, EP1.

While the song paints the picture of a heartbreaking love lost from twigs' perspective, the video plays off of a Carrie Underwood type of revengeful ex.
