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
you suddenly appeared
You say words that I wanna hear
I can barely breathe when you are near

I tried to write a letter
But nothing ever comes out right
If I find a way to make you feel better
Would you let me stay here tonight?

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
