Don't Forget To Breathe

I saw you walk in
With a new man in your arms
I wanted so bad to tell you
But I could not make a sound
Don't, forget, to breathe........

I never meant for this to happen
Never should have let it begin
I still smell your perfume on my skin
I don't think I have strength enough
To go through this again
Silver tongued deception
As you're making love with me
When I look at my reflection
It's someone else I see
Don't, forget, to breathe
Don't, forget, to breathe........

I swore to myself
That I'd never fall again
And I would never let you in
But I left the door wide open
Like a fool, I let you in
Now here I go again
Don't, forget, to breathe

Silver tongued deception
As you're making love with me
When I look at my reflection
It's someone else I see
( not again!)
Don't, forget, to breathe...........
