Car is parked, bags are packed, but what kind of heart doesn't look back
At the comfortable glow from the porch, the one I will still call yours?
All those words came undone and now I'm not the only one
Facing the ghosts that decide if the fire inside still burns

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again

Open up next to you and my secrets become your truth
And the distance between that was sheltering me comes in full view
Hang my head, break my heart built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear is a love I can't carry anymore

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again

Oh, It hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
Yeah, it hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?

All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, still I'm searching
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands, and still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday

I'll breathe again, I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again, I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again, I'll breathe again

    Song Meaning

    The first couple of times i listened to this song, I took it as she was trying to get over someone that she once dated. In a sense that she will one day breathe again, and move on. However i recently did a dance to this song, and the choreographer opened a whole different point of view. He took the song as her stating that you want to love someone so bad, but you just cant. "He's the air I would kill to breathe, Hold's my love in his hands, but still I'm searching for something." After he explained this, I listened to the song again and I agree. There's always that person that is right there waiting for you, and would be so perfect, but it just doesn't seem right, and you want so badly to love them, but you just can't.
