Breathe Underwater Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My head is a circus
It's all just too much
I guess my best was not good enough
And something is certain
I miss you around
And all that I want is to be with you

[Chorus]
You kept me breathing under the water
When everyone else left me to drown
You were the light that shone through the darkness
Now I'm blind 'cause you're not around

[Verse 2]
I know I'm not perfect
I let you down
I guess that I'm paying the price for it now

[Chorus]
You kept me breathing under the water
When everyone else left me to drown
You were the light that shone through the darkness
Now I'm blind 'cause you're not around

[Bridge]
I don't know how we got here
But I know I don't belong
I don't know how we got here
Or why I'm holding on

[Chorus]
You kept me breathing under the water
When everyone else left me to drown
You were the light that shone through the darkness
Now I'm blind 'cause you're not around

You kept me breathing under the water
When everyone else left me to drown
You were the light that shone through the darkness
Now I'm blind 'cause you're not around

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.
