Late at night I hear a phone call in my sleep
And I hear the words that once touched me so deep
Though we're far apart, you whisper - I miss you
Baby, it's true, I still love you

Only one breath away
I listen to your voice, it seems
You're just one breath away
Hopelessly near
Only one breath away
But this time I won't let your words hurt me
Unless you'll say you soon be back here

You say better times are coming - wait and see
You were always good at selling dreams to me
But I know your words could make me lose control
You're still close, close to my soul

Only one breath away
I listen to your voice, it seems
You're just one breath away
Hopelessly near
Only one breath away
But this time I won't let your words hurt me
Unless you'll say you soon be back here

Everything you say brings tears right to my eyes
Promises and hopes, and dreams, and little lies
But you always say so much but never when
You'll come back, come back again...

Only one breath away
I listen to your voice, it seems
You're just one breath away
Hopelessly near
Only one breath away
But this time I won't let your words hurt me
Unless you'll say you soon be back here
