Listen, I just wanna let you know that
He wants to be with me and I wanna be with him
It's alright, he didn't mean to hurt you
Things change, you'll be okay

I know what you're thinking
Why am I here with you?
I just want to explain things
Love won't last unless it's true

So, baby, can't you see (why can't you see)
You could never be me?
I do all the things that he loves me to
It may seem unfair, but I am the air
That he breathes all day long and that brings
him through (he just breathes through me)

Girl, you know you're special
Though it didn't work out (I'm sorry it didn't work out)
I'm sure he won't forget you
But accept that he's with me now
(he just wants to be with me)

So, baby, can't you see (why can't you see that)
You could never be me?
I do all the things that he loves me to
It may seem unfair, but I am the air
That he breathes all day long and that brings him through
So, baby, can't you see (why can't you see that)
You could never be me? (Huh?)
I do all the things that he loves me to
It may seem unfair, but I am the air
That he breathes all day long and
that brings him through (it's my big secret)
(Let's go)

I don't mean to poke no fun at those who live disaster
You'll probably look at us and see happily ever after
Of growing old through sunny days
filled with some fun and laughter
Our book will never close
our hearts just keep on writing chapters

This was my big secret (this is my big secret)
That I should not be telling (I kept it quiet)
The joy won't let me keep it (I can't hide it anymore)
'Cause I just feel like healing (so I gotta let you know)

So, baby, can't you see you could never be me?
I do all the things that he loves me to
It may seem unfair, but I am the air
That he breathes all day long and
that brings him through (let's go)

I don't mean to poke no fun at those who live disaster
You'll probably look at us and see happily ever after
Of growing old through sunny days
filled with some fun and laughter

Open your eyes (don't you understand?)
Open your eyes (huh? Oh, open your eyes)
Can't you see, girl? (Oh, why can't you see?)
He is mine (let's go)
Open your eyes (open your eyes)
Open your eyes (he's mine, oh, he's mine)
Can't you see, girl? (Oh, why can't you see, girl?)
He is mine (oh, don't you know he is mine?)
