Sad to Breathe Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you're going away
Why'd you say something that made me believe
That you just might stay?
[Chorus]
'Cause you're right and I'm tryin'
To change myself, but it's tirin'
And I go to bed and I'm cryin'
'Cause it's sad to breathe the air when you're not there
'Cause you're right and I'm tryin'
To change myself, but it's tirin'
And I go to bed and I'm cryin'
'Cause it's sad to breathe the air when you're not there
[Verse 2]
I forget
I can't tell if the things I have, I just don't want
Or the things I want, I just don't get
[Chorus]
'Cause you're right and I'm tryin'
To change myself, but it's tirin'
And I go to bed and I'm cryin'
'Cause it's sad to breathe the air when you're not there
[Post-Chorus]
(It's sad to breathe the air when you're not there)
(When you're not there, when you're not there)
[Bridge]
A love that didn't last
Do I chase the train you're ridin' on
Or sit back and wait as it goes past?
[Chorus]
'Cause you're right and I'm tryin'
To change myself, but it's tirin'
And I go to bed and I'm cryin'
'Cause it's sad to breathe the air when you're not there
[Outro]
(It's sad to breathe the air when you're not there)
(Sad to breathe the air when you're not there)
(When you're not there, when you're not there)
(It's sad to breathe the air when you're not there)
(Sad to breathe the air when you're not there)
(Sad when you're not there, when you're not there)

What did The Japanese House say about "Sad to Breathe"?
I wrote “Sad To Breathe” some time ago, it’s one of the oldest songs on the record. It was very different back then; it’s gone from being solely electronic to what it is now, mostly live/ acoustic instrumentation. It’s about that desperate feeling when someone leaves you and the disbelief that they...
What have the artists said about the song?
I wrote this when Marika [Hackman, Bain’s ex, who Good at Falling is about] and I broke up. We’re really good friends now and have sorted everything out—we’re very close. When I think about how completely depressed and destroyed I was from that break-up, I almost find it cute and funny. I think that...
