By the look in your eyes, you have hate for me
Is that the way that its always been
I just can't believe after all the tears
You turn away, won't dispel my fears
You know, you know I can't breathe.
Its killing me slowly I know.
You know, you know I can't breathe
Isn't it time you let me go
Where is the love, can you answer me
Its such a shame you're on bended knee
Not in the way that its meant to be
I need you to hear me, can you hear my pleas.
You know, you know I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
Its killing me slowly I know.
You know, you know I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
Isn't it time you let me go
On 38th and Chicago all the odds are stacked against me
On 38th and Chicago, why didn't anyone come to rescue me
You know, you know I can't breathe (I can't breathe)
Its killing me slowly I know.
You know, you know I can't breathe (oh I can't breathe)
Its killing me slowly I know
Its killing me slowly I know
Its killing me slowly I know
Its killing me slowly....
