A Breath and It's Gone Lyrics

If parting is such sweet sorrow,
Why does this still taste bitter
Against my lips?
Electric words crackle,
Like poison on the wire.

If parting is such sweet sorrow,
Why does this still taste bitter?
(Or is it a blessing in disguise)

A breath and it's gone,
But it lingers.
Reminds me to feel something.
A breath and it's gone but it lingers,
Reminds me to feel..

We tread so carefully between
Every piece and promises
That matter most
As the sun leaves the gulf
Colous saturate our ghosts
Shadows faded
Once kept me contained
Now seem far away

Take my hand, my everything
Take this heart and soul to keep
Choke hold and don't let me breathe
Choke hold and don't let me..

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Haha, that it does.

I'm not exactly sure what this song means. Possibly about choking someone?
