"Can't Breathe" lyrics

It's been thirty seven days
Since you turned and walked away
Baby, you were foolish
You were wrong
You should've made it better
You broke the promise you made
'Cause you were jealous and afraid
Baby, I was risin'
You let me down
We should've stood together

Now I can't breathe
If I'm not breathin' with you
I can't sleep
If all I'm dreamin' is you
Can't you see?
I've got no air without you
I can't breathe
I can't breathe

So I, so I, so I, so I
So I cracked and called you today
And the tears froze on my face
'Cause you said we were over
You were so cold
We should've been forever

Now I can't breathe
If I'm not breathin' with you
I can't sleep
If all I'm dreamin' is you
Can't you see?
I've got no air without you
Now, I can't breathe
I can't breathe

We could have everything, but all we got is heartache and pain
I can't catch my breath, it's getting harder to speak
You should be proud of me, but you're too insecure and too vain
We should've been forever
I wanted you forever

Now I can't breathe
If I'm not breathin' with you
I can't sleep
If all I'm dreamin' is you
Can't you see?
I've got no air without you
I can't breathe
I can't breathe

Why couldn't you just be a man?
Why couldn't you just understand?
All I wanna do is hold your hand
Why couldn't we walk hand in hand?
Why couldn't you just be a man?
Why couldn't you just understand?
All I wanna do is hold your hand
