Don't Hold Your Breath Lyrics

Cover art for Don't Hold Your Breath lyrics by Nicole Scherzinger

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.
