Breathe Again Lyrics

If I never feel you in my arms again If I never feel your tender kiss again If I never hear I love you now and then Will I never make love to you once again Please understand if love ends Then I promise you, I promise you That, that I shall never breathe again Breathe again Breathe again That I shall never breathe again Breathe again And I can't stop thinkin' about About the way things used to be And I can't stop thinkin' about About the love that you make to me And I can't get you outta my head How in the world will I begin To let you walk right out my life And blow my heart away And I can't stop carin' about About the apple of my eye And I can't stop doin' without Without the center of my life And I can't get you outta my head And I know I can't pretend That I won't die if you decide You won't see me again If I never feel you in my arms again If I never feel your tender kiss again If I never hear I love you now and then Will I never make love to you once again Please understand if love ends Then I promise you, I promise you That, that I shall never breathe again Breathe again Breathe again That I shall never breathe again Breathe again And I can't stop thinkin' about About the way my life would be No I can't stop thinkin' about How could your love be leavin' me And I can't get you outta my mind God knows how hard I tried And if you walk right out my life God knows I'd surely die And I can't stop doin' without Without the rythm of my heart No I can't stop doin' without For I would surely fall apart And I can't get you outta my mind Cause I know I can't deny it And I would die if you decide You won't see me again If I never feel you in my arms again If I never feel your tender kiss again If I never hear I love you now and then Will I never make love to you once again Please understand if love ends Then I promise you, I promise you That, that I shall never breathe again Breathe again Breathe again That I shall never breathe again Breathe again

Meaning of Breathe Again

“Breathe Again” is a raw and desperate plea from Toni Braxton about the utter devastation of losing love. The lyrics paint a picture of complete dependence, where her existence itself is inextricably linked to the presence and affection of her partner. She’s consumed by agonizing thoughts, unable to process the potential abandonment, fixating on cherished memories and the profound emptiness left behind – she can't stop thinking about how her life would be without him, and the pain of his departure feels like a certainty of death. The repeated declaration “I shall never breathe again” isn’t literal; it symbolizes the suffocating despair and inability to function without this vital connection. Ultimately, Braxton conveys a heartbreaking vulnerability and a terrifying realization that love is not just a feeling, but the very essence of her being, highlighting the profound fear of oblivion when that love disappears.
