Car is parked, bags are packed
But what kind of heart doesn't look back
At the comfortable glow from the porch
The one I will still call yours
All those words came undone
And now I'm not the only one
Facing the ghosts that decide
If the fire inside still burns
All I have, all I need
He's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands
Still I'm searching for something
Out of breath
I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
Open up next to you
And my secrets become your truth
And the distance between
That was sheltering me comes in full view
Hang my head, break my heart
Built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear
Is a love I can't carry anymore
All I have, all I need
He's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands
Still I'm searching for something
Out of breath
I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
It hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
It hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?
All I have, all I need
He's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands
Still I'm searching
All I have, all I need
He's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands
Still I'm searching for something
Out of breath
I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
But what kind of heart doesn't look back
At the comfortable glow from the porch
The one I will still call yours
All those words came undone
And now I'm not the only one
Facing the ghosts that decide
If the fire inside still burns
All I have, all I need
He's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands
Still I'm searching for something
Out of breath
I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
Open up next to you
And my secrets become your truth
And the distance between
That was sheltering me comes in full view
Hang my head, break my heart
Built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear
Is a love I can't carry anymore
All I have, all I need
He's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands
Still I'm searching for something
Out of breath
I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
It hurts to be here
I only wanted love from you
It hurts to be here
What am I gonna do?
All I have, all I need
He's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands
Still I'm searching
All I have, all I need
He's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands
Still I'm searching for something
Out of breath
I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again

If he is the one,then why am I still searching? Why can't I breathe?
Great song.
However, she knows she shouldn't and even though it hurts like no pain she's ever experienced before, she knows that over time she will be able to breathe again. She will stop feeling suffocated and be able to leave but she has to leave for this to happen. It's almost as if the air that she is breathing is his which would mean to start with it's gonna be harder but when she learns to live wihtout him she will be able to breathe again.
'Hang my head, break my heart
Built from all I have torn apart
And my burden to bear
Is a love I can't carry anymore'
This is probably my favourite verse. She knows that she shouldn't be carrying this love any more because he broke her heart, broke everything she built and she can't bear the burden of this love. It's because of this that she knows she has to leave him and she will someday breathe again.
Just my opinion. I feel I can relate to this song.
However i recently did a dance to this song, and the choreographer opened a whole different point of view. He took the song as her stating that you want to love someone so bad, but you just cant. "He's the air I would kill to breathe, Hold's my love in his hands, but still I'm searching for something." After he explained this, I listened to the song again and I agree. There's always that person that is right there waiting for you, and would be so perfect, but it just doesn't seem right, and you want so badly to love them, but you just can't.
