I Can't Breathe Without You

Head in my hands
as I fall to my knees.
You ran away,
now I can't even breathe.
Why did you go,
I need you . . .
I need you, baby.
I can't even breathe.

Where did you go?
I miss that feeling;
Arms around me -
I felt so secure.
Now that you're gone,
I'm so unprotected.
I don't remember
how to breathe
since you left me, oh.

My heart is falling apart
with each passing day.
Nobody comes
to pick up the pieces.
I gave up too many times
but now I'm looking,
looking for you.

Loving you took all my time,
now I have nothing to do.
How do I breathe
when you don't come back to me?
How do I know
if all will be right once more?

Where have you been?
I missed that feeling;
Arms around me -
I felt so protected.
Since you've been gone,
I was so vulnerable.
I couldn't remember
how to breathe
since you left me, oh.
