Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You took my breath away
I want it back again
Look at the mess I'm in
I don't know what to say
[Verse 2]
I don't know how to feel
You don't care anyway
All I can do is wait
You took my breath away
[Verse 3]
You took this song of mine
And changed the middle bit
It used to sound alright
But now the words don't fit
[Verse 4]
It's getting hard to rhyme
Impossible to play
I've tried it many times
You took my breath away
[Verse 5]
One day when the sun is shining
There will be a silver lining
[Verse 6]
You knocked my headlights out
So turn them on again
I can't see where I'm going
I can't tell where I've been
[Verse 7]
I don't know how to feel
This hasn't been my day
Seems like I've lost a wheel
You took my breath away
[Verse 8]
You took my breath away
You took my breath away
You took my breath away
