When I Breathe
©2007 Bonnie Barbey, Kay Crawford and Kara K. Smith
Verse 1
The ring you left is layin’ on the table by the door
And your perfume doesn’t linger in our bedroom anymore
There's an empty hall still echoes all our angry words that night
When you walked out of my life
Chorus
I only miss you when I breathe
I only dream of you every time I sleep
I'm only lonely every moment I awake,
I know it’s hard to believe
I only miss you when I breathe
Verse 2
I thought we'd both be happy once we went our separate ways
But I'm talkin' to the mirror like you're hearin' what I say
And I'm workin' up the courage to pick up the telephone
'cause there's somethin’ you should know...
Chorus
I only miss you when I breathe
I only dream of you every time I sleep
I'm only lonely every moment I awake,
I know it’s hard to believe
I only miss you when I breathe
Bridge
I’m reachin’ your machine that says you’re not at home
So I’m shakin’ as I’m leavin’ you this message at the tone
Chorus
Tag
I’m hopin’ you can believe
I only miss you when I breathe
