Breathe for You

I was a cold war before I found your heat,
a criminal, didn’t know what to seek.
But then fate shined, and you set me free.

You were the brightest sun of all the stars in the sky.
You lit my world, and you opened my eyes.
You took what was wrong, and you made it right.

All I ever wanted was you beside me every night.
All I ever need is truth from you to set me right.
Now you’re in my arms, I’ve seen the light, and I’m finally coming home.

You know your eyes sparkle when they lock with mine.
And I can’t help it if I lose track of time
‘cause I can feel your soul, and it holds onto mine.

You’re pretty when you wake up at nine,
and you’re pretty when you cry into the night.
But you’re beautiful when you talk to me.

All I ever wanted was you beside me every night.
All I ever need is truth from you to set me right.
Now you’re in my arms, I’ve seen the light, and I’m finally coming home.

All that I desire’s your touch and your eyes.
You’re what lights my fire, what keeps me alive.
Please let me keep breathing ‘cause I only want to breathe for you.

‘Cause you were just a girl when we first met,
and I was just a boy who didn’t know yet
that you were what my life was meant to live for.

All I ever wanted was you beside me every night.
All I ever need is truth from you to set me right.
Now you’re in my arms, I’ve seen the light, and I’m finally coming home.

All that I desire’s your touch and your eyes.
You’re what lights my fire, what keeps me alive.
Please let me keep breathing ‘cause I only want to breathe for you.

Oh whoa, oh oh, oh whoa oh oh, oh whoa oh oh, oh whoa oh oh

Please let me keep breathing ‘cause I only want to breathe for you.
