Story Behind The Song
Breathless, this song is about love, falling in love with someone, a love so powerful it takes your breath away. It is about being caught up on the "magical carpet ride" being swept up in the glow of love and taken away by the charms of love, and a love that for a time is unrequited.
Caught up on the wheel of unrequited love again, and not knowing how to express it.
Words left unspoken-out of fear, the fear of being rejected. Yet at the same time being pulled into the addicting flow of emotions and euphoria that spin you around and leave you dizzy. All the while this longing and desire compel you forward in a daze on this crazy ride of love.
The uncertainty, not knowing if the other feels the same and the pain and anguish you feel, as you both play this cat and mouse game of he loves me, he loves me not, as one chases the other in circles until you wonder who is chasing who.
Finally, the race slows for a moment, long enough to see, really see, look into each other's eyes and the flames of love ignite the spark for loves first kiss. That leaves them breathless.

Lyrics
Breathless Lynn Gillitzer © 2016
It's tearing me up inside, and I can't ask for more
So many words left unspoken
Whispers upon my lips
Words I cannot say, frozen in my mind
Lost upon my breath
Still as the night air
Ohhh, it's leaving me breathless
Caught up in the afterglow, Kaleidoscope of emotions
Because you took my breath away
Lost in the windows of my soul
Mesmerized by your smile, swept away by your charms
I'm longing for your touch
Still as the night air
Ohhh, it's leaving me breathless
BRIDGE
How many times, how many times must I live through this?
How many times, how many time must I feel pain?
Or is it all in vain, cus it's leaving me Breathless
I see you standing there, Time ceases to exist
I'm lost within your eyes
Love flows like a river to my soul
So many words to say, whispers upon my lips
Forming into loves first kiss
This time I know love will stay
Not going to let it slip away
Ohhh, it's leaving me breathless
Ohhh, leaving me, breathless
