Lyrics
Do Not Attempt To Breathe
V1
Nowadays you're looking drawn
Hollow eyes, no lipstick on
You're tense, nails all bitten down
Pre chorus
Did he work the charm, hold out his arms
Work the kiss, till his moves turned into this
Chorus
Sudden temper, rigid rules
Then a moody silence grew
And accusations, all untrue
The menace in his meaning
Was lurking underneath
As if to warn
Do not attempt to breathe
V2
I can feel your growing fear
I have tales you need to hear
He's bad, he'll never let you be
Repeat Pre chorus
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Didn’t tell you this before
I’ve battled too and won that war
I’ll stand by you, won’t have you drown
He's troubled waters
And he’ll drag you down
Repeat Chorus
Outro
Girl, you're done if you don't go
Don't want to say 'I told you so’
