(Don't hold your bre-eath eth eth eth eth eth eth eth) You can't touch me now There's no feeling left If you think I'm coming back Don't hold your breath What you did to me boy I can't forget If you think I'm coming back Don't hold your breath I was under your spell for such a long time couldn't break the chains You played with my heart tore me apart with all your lies and games It took all the strength I had but I crawled up on my feet again Now you're trying to lure me back but no those days are gone my friend I loved you so much then I thought someday that you could change But all you brought me was a heart full of pain You can't touch me now There's no feeling left If you think I'm coming back Don't hold your breath What you did to me boy I can't forget If you think I'm coming back Don't hold your breath Don't hold your breath I was worried about you but you never cared about me none You took my money and I knew that you, you could kill someone I gave you everything but nothing was ever enough You were always jealous over such crazy stuff You can't touch me now There's no feeling left If you think I'm coming back Don't hold your breath What you did to me boy I can't forget If you think I'm coming back Don't hold your breath Don't hold your breath Move on don't look back I jumped off a train running off the tracks Love is gone, face the facts A bad movie ends and the screen fades to black What you did to me boy I can't forget If you think I'm coming back You can't touch me now There's no feeling left If you think I'm coming back Don't hold your breath What you did to me boy I can't forget If you think I'm coming back Don't hold your breath You can't touch me now There's no feeling left If you think I'm coming back Don't hold your breath What you did to me boy I can't forget If you think I'm coming back Don't hold your breath
