Don't Hold Your Breath Lyrics

Don't hold your breath

You can't touch me now, there's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath
What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath

I was under your spell for such a long time, couldn't break the chains
You played with my heart, tore me apart with all your lies and games
It took all the strenght I had but I crawled up on my feet again
Now you're trying to lure me back, but no, those days are gone my friend

I loved you so much that I thought someday that you could change
But all you brought me was a heart full of pain

You can't touch me now, there's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath
What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath

Don't hold your breath

I was worried about but you never cared about me none
You took my money and I know that you, you could kill someone
I gave you everything but nothing was ever enough
You were always jealous over such crazy stuff

You can't touch me now, there's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath
What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath

Don't hold your breath

Move on, don't look back
I jumped off a train, running off the tracks
Your days gone, face the facts
A bad movie ends and the screen fades to black

What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back

You can't touch me now, there's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath
What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath

Don't hold your breath

You can't touch me now, there's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath
What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath

I loved you so much that I thought someday that you could change
But all you brought me was a heart full of pain

You can't touch me now, there's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath
What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath

Don't hold your breath

You can't touch me now, there's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath
What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath

Don't hold your breath

Move on, don't look back
I jumped off a train, running off the tracks
Your days gone, face the facts
A bad movie ends and the screen fades to black

What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back

You can't touch me now, there's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath
What you did to me, boy I can't forget
If you think I'm coming back, don't hold your breath

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.

This is one of those songs where I didn't think I would like it at first, but when I listened to the lyrics, I realised it was really deep. The song is about a relationship full of abuse and negativity. The girl put everything into the relationship to make it work, and the mad stood and watched her pour her heart into it. They break up and he wants her back. I think this is one of those narcissistic people who "promise to do better" but never do. The man is probably bitter and angry and is a hindrance, so Scherzinger wrote the song about it.
