When He Breathes I Bleed Lyrics

The song, "When He Breathes I Bleed" written, composed and performed by Adam Cross, is a powerful piece describing heartbreak, jealousy, and the ongoing pain felt after seeing one's former partner with somebody else. The lyrics present the process of coping with the flood of emotions experienced as a reaction to observing the intimacy of one's former partner and another person and being stuck in the loop of pain, longing and regret. Powerful images and constant appeals to the narrator's desire to have peace and calmness are connected with the internal conflict between the willingness to move on and the inability to avoid the painful memories and comparisons. The main character of the song feels his need to cry out his sorrow because he mourns the lost relationship and tries to accept new emerging feelings.
