“I Only Miss You When I Breathe” examines the absence of a relationship and the feelings of missing someone every day.
The song is featured on Christina Grimmie’s SIDE B EP and final full-length album, “All Is Vanity.”
[Verse 1]
Love is a strange thing, it sets you on fire
It keeps you burning day and night
There's no doubt that you're alive
Love is a cold thing, suddenly frozen
Tearing your heart into a million, piece by piece
[Pre-Chorus]
All my friends say it wasn't true love
I shouldn't waste my tears on you
But they don't know that I
I only miss you when I breathe
[Chorus]
Oh-oh
I only miss you when I breathe
Oh, I only miss you when I didn't think I'd say it
But I only miss you when I breathe, oh
[Verse 2]
Love is delusion, often deceiving
It's magic how it feels when you fall head over heels
Leaving you broken, leaving you bruised
But love is a power
Making you stronger
So why do I always only miss you when I breathe?
[Chorus]
Oh-oh
I only miss you when I breathe
Oh, I only miss you when I didn't think I'd say it
But I only miss you when I breathe, oh
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
All my friends say it wasn't true love
I shouldn't waste my tears on you
But they don't know that I
Only miss you when I breathe, yeah
[Chorus]
I only miss you when I breathe (Oh, oh)
I only miss you when I breathe, oh-oh
I only miss you when I breathe, oh
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (I only miss you when I breathe)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (I only miss you when I breathe)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
