[Verse 1]
I got a hole in my chest
The water's up to my neck, yeah
It seems the older I get
The more that I stress, I don't know
If I'm doing my best
'Cause I'm still losing my breath, yeah
Where's my life going? Feel frozen

[Pre-Chorus]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Think I'm running out of time
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
I'm just tryna stay alive
And I need some air
It's my only prayer, oh-oh

[Chorus]
'Cause I can't breathe
Yeah, I can't breathe
And I need some air

[Bridge]
I need some hope before I choke before I'm sorry
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
Inhale your love to fill my lungs to fill my body
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh)

[Verse 2]
I got a hole in my chest
The water's up to my neck, yeah
It seems the older I get
The more that I stress, Lord knows
If I'm doing my best (I swear, I'm doing–)
But I keep losing my breath (Yeah)
Please don't let me drown (Drown)

[Pre-Chorus]
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Think I'm running out of time
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
I'm just tryna stay alive
And I need some air
It's my only prayer, oh-oh

[Chorus]
'Cause I can't breathe
Yeah, I can't breathe
And I need some air
Yeah, I can't breathe

[Outro]
'Cause I can't breathe
(Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
'Cause I can't–
'Cause I can't breathe
