Lyrics

UNDER MY BREATH

I couldnÂ?t let you hurt my pride
CouldnÂ?t let you see me cry
So I convinced you, I didnÂ?t need you there
I couldnÂ?t admit to being wrong
Made you think that I was strong
When I acted as if I didnÂ?t care, no

But under my breath
I was saying I still love you
Under my breath, were the words I could not say
Looking in my eyes you wouldnÂ?t know
On my face it didnÂ?t show
Under my breath I was begging you to stay

I couldnÂ?t let you know my pain
Had to hide the way I was feeling
So I pretended and made you believe
I couldnÂ?t let you see concern
DidnÂ?t want you knowing I was hurting
So I stood by and I let you leave

CHORUS

And if I could have those few moments again
Go back to that point in time
I would change it there and then
If only I had swallowed my pride
And handled things differently
Baby I should have let you know
What you really meant to me

CHORUS + Ad lib
