[Intro: Richard Rogers]
This heart is yours, so take it as you please
But if you walk away, remember
I need that heart to breathe

[Verse 1: Richard Rogers]
I always try so hard to be her right
And all she does is fight the reasons why
The future always seemed so bright
I don't know why she fears the light

[Pre-Chorus: Richard Rogers]
You always try to hide and cover up the hurt inside
But I see through your lies
You know I'm what you need and I need you to breathe
So won't you take...?

[Chorus: Richard Rogers]
This heart is yours, so take it as you please
But if you walk away, remember
I need that heart to breathe

[Verse 2: Richard Rogers]
Oh, if you've seen what I've seen, you should know
You'd know it's not a good thing to let go
Three years of constant devotion
Are gone with our destructive emotions
Our love that once was lays in waste
But I still offer you

[Chorus: Richard Rogers]
This heart is yours, so take it as you please
But if you walk away, remember
I need that heart to breathe

[Post-Chorus: Richard Rogers]
I need you now, more than you know
Why won't you come home?
I need my heart to breathe
[Breakdown: Aaron Meltzer]
There's a part of me that still can't sleep at night
Without you in my side
It's getting harder and harder to breathe
The farther and farther you get from me

[Bridge: Richard Rogers]
This heart is yours, so take it as you please
But if you walk away, remember
I need that heart to breathe

[Chorus: Richard Rogers]
This heart is yours, so take it as you please
But if you walk away, remember
I need that heart to breathe
This heart is yours, so take it as you please
But if you walk away, remember
I need that heart to breathe
