It's easier for me that way, I can't bring myself to love him even though I want to. The word love is overused by people who don't know its dangerous definition. It can make us feel so many emotions when it wasn't even meant for us. You convince yourself that this is the person you want to spend your life with until they turn their back on you. We only started dating a little while ago, but it feels so very wrong. It isn't him, it's me. It's me because I cannot feel anything except sadness yet he chose to be with me. As said in the lyrics "You're my all and more, but I need room to breath". I just have to endure it until I can no longer hold it in.
When I was going through heartache, I heard “you’re not mine anymore” When I was happy, I heard “you’re my all and more” Incredible how music connects with your mind.
Stephanie Nicole That is so true and I would like to say how sorry I am to see that your heart was broken. We all go through it. But we all have that one love that is putting for us as much as we are looking for then
That's very interesting. I think I read somewhere that Breathe was actually about dealing with the recognization that the relationship is over. So, you are actually suppose to hear "you're my all and more" while going through heartache. Perception is such a weird thing.
I've never felt so identified or represented with a track. I just wanna say thank you Lauv for this song which is pushing me to give my best version to the world. It's sad when you had everything with a person, when you believed in that relationship, when you though "we are the best couple ever", but all gone to the shit. In that moment you learn how love and life works: you gotta break up because it's the best option to both. Relationship turned in a toxic thing and that's not healthy to nobody. You lived and learned a lot of things with that person, but now it's time to walk alone. Go ahead, never go back. Go up, never give up. Remember: you can do whatever you want for yourself. You're the most important person in the world. Thanks for so much, Lauv.
[Verse 1] I've watched those eyes light up with a smile River in the not good times Oh, you taught me all that I know I've seen your soul grow just like a rose Made it through all of those thorns Girl into the woman I know [Pre-Chorus] And it's killing me, me to say "I'm fine," "I'm fine" When I really mean, mean to say... [Chorus] You're my all and more All I know you taught me, yeah You're my all and more But I need room to breathe, yeah [Verse 2] I found New York laying in your arms We'll melt into the bedroom floor Never knew I'd stay for so long And this truth cuts not through one, but both Not through one, but both of us But it's deeper if I hold on [Pre-Chorus] And it's killing me, me to say "I'm fine," "I'm fine" When I really mean, mean to say... [Chorus] You're my all and more All I know you taught me, yeah You're my all and more But I need room to breathe, yeah [Bridge] Gotta breathe for me, it's now or never Gotta breathe for me, it's now or never I should leave, 'cause you deserve better, better Gave my all and more But I need room to be me [Chorus] You're my all and more All I know you taught me, yeah You're my all and more But I need room to breathe, yeah
The amazing thing is, unlike most artists these days, When he sings live we can clearly state that his voice is 100000% natural and does NOT need autotune.
This was beautiful. This was the first song I'd ever heard from him about a year ago, and it came at such a sad point in my life, but it was the kind of song I needed to hear. Love this Mahogany session ugh
I had the same experience as you! I first heard this song last August while going through a bad breakup from an extremely toxic and abusive relationship. It randomly came on shuffle on TH-cam one day while I was at work and I burst into tears crying, because it was exactly what I needed to hear at the time! It still gives me the feels hahha
I was lucky enough to see him play this live in London this year because this song was the song that.. well.. the girl that ill never stop loving used this song to tell me that she still loves me and wanted to be together again.. after she broke up with me after almost a year.. even though she still left a while after, its been almost 2 years now that she left me but im still in love with her.. and this song reminds me of that moment that she told me that she loved me and its something that ill never forget.. i've still never met her.. and i don't think i ever will be lucky enough to... i guess thats my blue note..
I got to go see him play live in Tulsa on the 28th and it was probably one of the best concerts I've ever been to! He was such a lively, nice guy. And his voice is so amazing. He played this song, but the acoustic/piano version instead of the original, and it was SO good. You could really hear the emotion in his voice when he sang it at the venue.
This song is powerful both stripped and with all of the strong musical sounds backing it. This version brings tears to my eyes much faster though because the emotion is raw and exposed and it felt like it was really laying into me. I struggled not to start bawling because it was so sad and so beautiful. I love this song. I love this song very much. It speaks to me and really penetrates the numbness that mental illness has really created in me. For months, no music was able to connect with me- and then I found Lauv’s music- and it is the first music in months- years- that has really made me feel something so strongly. Lauv has made songs that have made me cry, and he has also made songs that have made me sway and slow dance by myself in my kitchen. I love his music. I love the way it makes me feel something. I’m glad this version exists.
WOW this is an absolutely breathtaking song. Never heard it until now. This is perfection. Honestly words cannot express the sheer beauty of this whole video. His voice, the piano, production. The whole thing is stellar. Lauv you are truly magical. He could rival Bruno Mars and ed Sheeran with his writing and voice. As a singing teacher every part of his voice is used exactly where it should be. Just wow.
OH MY GOSH!!!! THIS VERSION SOUNDS AMAZING!!! MY NEW FAVORITE!!! I WISH RADIO STATIONS COULD PLAY A WHOLE LOT MORE LAUV!!!! HE IS SOOOOOOOO FRIKKIN TALENTED!!!! SO SO SO TALENTED!!!
Did anyone else think that the full version was heavily auto tuned? It’s remarkable to watch him do it acoustically and see how much vocal control he has, really impressive
This song is so strong. Every time I here it. I think of the one I loved most. Who let me go. This song is so true and strong. We all need need room to breath. But don't ever, ever let go
The first verse resonates with me so much. As a Father, i was taught that the love of a child is very powerful, life changing. I've seen her grow into the woman i knew. now that shes gone, she took my breath as well. I so need to....
this is one of my favourite Mahogany Sessions vid, i really like this guy and the song and the piano and the place and how it sounds all together. Love it!!! Please keep doing this because it's magic! Love from Barcelona

Me! How stunning this is 🥺
Present ❤
I love the stripped back version to really feel the emotion in his voice. The lyrics hit much harder with this version. I love it!
omg it's IndieAir, I've been watching your channel for years.
That made my day! thank you!
IndieAir you are exceptionally extraordinary ❤
I knew this song through your channel!
i have to say when you hear his voice crack THE EMOTIONS
For some reason, I feel his “yeahs” so much
same fam
straight through your soul
Yeah
isnt it sad to let go people who could be happier with someone than us?
Muhammad Giovani yup. It sucks. It just happened to me last night 💔
we learn to love and let go.
It's easier for me that way, I can't bring myself to love him even though I want to. The word love is overused by people who don't know its dangerous definition.

As said in the lyrics "You're my all and more, but I need room to breath". I just have to endure it until I can no longer hold it in.
it’s sadder to have to let go of those who would be happier with us
Oooooh... Dang it... Too sad...
When I was going through heartache, I heard “you’re not mine anymore”
When I was happy, I heard “you’re my all and more”
Incredible how music connects with your mind.
Stephanie Nicole OHHH I THOUGHT I WAS the only one 😭😭😭😅
Stephanie Nicole
That is so true and I would like to say how sorry I am to see that your heart was broken. We all go through it. But we all have that one love that is putting for us as much as we are looking for then
True, very cool
That's very interesting. I think I read somewhere that Breathe was actually about dealing with the recognization that the relationship is over. So, you are actually suppose to hear "you're my all and more" while going through heartache.
Perception is such a weird thing.
thats crazy dude... another one that ive noticed is between "but i need room to breathe" and "but i need you to breathe".
This version made me feel every word 🙌🙌
youre exactly right.
Just a bit more emotional!
Oh really? Fuck yoyuuu
♾
Ugh I love him. He’s so talented.
I've never felt so identified or represented with a track. I just wanna say thank you Lauv for this song which is pushing me to give my best version to the world.

Thanks for so much, Lauv.
[Verse 1]
I've watched those eyes light up with a smile
River in the not good times
Oh, you taught me all that I know
I've seen your soul grow just like a rose
Made it through all of those thorns
Girl into the woman I know
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's killing me, me to say "I'm fine," "I'm fine"
When I really mean, mean to say...
[Chorus]
You're my all and more
All I know you taught me, yeah
You're my all and more
But I need room to breathe, yeah
[Verse 2]
I found New York laying in your arms
We'll melt into the bedroom floor
Never knew I'd stay for so long
And this truth cuts not through one, but both
Not through one, but both of us
But it's deeper if I hold on
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's killing me, me to say "I'm fine," "I'm fine"
When I really mean, mean to say...
[Chorus]
You're my all and more
All I know you taught me, yeah
You're my all and more
But I need room to breathe, yeah
[Bridge]
Gotta breathe for me, it's now or never
Gotta breathe for me, it's now or never
I should leave, 'cause you deserve better, better
Gave my all and more
But I need room to be me
[Chorus]
You're my all and more
All I know you taught me, yeah
You're my all and more
But I need room to breathe, yeah
William damn i thought it was “youre my whole damn world”
William Koh
Is the lyric REALLY “river in the not good times”??? I want to make sure...it just doesn’t make sense..
And how about “Girl into the woman I know” as well?? Or is it “GREW into the woman I know”? Very curious...
@@TessaxMusic95 river in the not good times could mean that he saw her crying so much in the bad times?
The voice crack in "I should leave because you deserve better" had me sobbing ;;;
The amazing thing is, unlike most artists these days, When he sings live we can clearly state that his voice is 100000% natural and does NOT need autotune.
He could use some autotune, definetely. But it's normal, he's a human after all.
lopindoosherfl ive seen him live twice n i can 100% confirm he sounds the exact same
lopindoosherfl Theres no post processing on this besides maybe eq and compression
@@rosiemae6141 you know that singers can also use autotune live on stage??
High on Music, she did not know.
This was beautiful. This was the first song I'd ever heard from him about a year ago, and it came at such a sad point in my life, but it was the kind of song I needed to hear. Love this Mahogany session ugh

if just jeremy zucker and lauv collab or chelsea cutler with lauv, damn
CHELSEA AND LAUV OH MY GOD
still waiting for jerm en ari to collab smh
You get me
this version has always been my favorite
I was lucky enough to see him play this live in London this year because this song was the song that.. well.. the girl that ill never stop loving used this song to tell me that she still loves me and wanted to be together again.. after she broke up with me after almost a year.. even though she still left a while after, its been almost 2 years now that she left me but im still in love with her.. and this song reminds me of that moment that she told me that she loved me and its something that ill never forget.. i've still never met her.. and i don't think i ever will be lucky enough to... i guess thats my blue note..
Sahil Doshi That's beautiful. Love is rare and hard to let go.
I feel you bro been through all that even after the bullshit they pull off you still see and hold onto the good part.
YESSSS HE'S FINALLY ON MAHOGANY, AND SINGING MY FAVORITE SONG 😭😭👏👏👏♥💙
We need more lauv mahogany sessions 🗣️ 🔥

Sounds like a truly amazing performance! 😍
I'll cry everytime to hear this song. Whenever I'm in a sadness, I'll listen to Lauv and it melts my heart away...
NOOO I CAN'T this is too emotional
Lauv deserves so much more! He is actually an artist who sounds beautiful live
-Moonroofmusik
I feel like when it’s sung like this you can feel every word and every pain and experience behind this song... mad amazing
2020, heartbroken but still struggling to believe.
You got this buddy , i hope there comes a time when it dosen't hurt anymore ❤
To believe on what, that good stuff are ahead of you or in love?
love
We'll gonna get through this heartache!!! T___T
One of the first songs I’ve heard of his. The lyrics hit hard when you can relate to them. Not many artists can do that which is why I love Lauv.
Love mahogany sessions!
PLEASE ADD THIS IN SPOTIFY 😭

What a beautiful piano that is, and the simple recording with just a single mic, it's baffling how good it sounds.
We have lots of microphones but you just can’t see them 🧐😛
@@MahoganySessions Oh, well that explains it haha
The sign of a good song - when you strip it back and it still sounds amazing.
Glad MrSuicideSheep introduced me to him a few years ago.
Which song pls
SAAAAAAAME with exact this song
That's how I found him too
@@alexorgy I came to know him from "I like me better"
The breaks in his voice and the "oohhh" parts -- SO EFFING GOOD. I could watch this over and over again.
WOW this is an absolutely breathtaking song. Never heard it until now. This is perfection. Honestly words cannot express the sheer beauty of this whole video. His voice, the piano, production. The whole thing is stellar. Lauv you are truly magical. He could rival Bruno Mars and ed Sheeran with his writing and voice. As a singing teacher every part of his voice is used exactly where it should be. Just wow.
THE PIANO SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL .... THE LYRICS ARE SO TOUCHING... RADIO STATIONS GOTTA PLAY MORE LAUV!!!!
OH MY GOSH!!!! THIS VERSION SOUNDS AMAZING!!! MY NEW FAVORITE!!! I WISH RADIO STATIONS COULD PLAY A WHOLE LOT MORE LAUV!!!! HE IS SOOOOOOOO FRIKKIN TALENTED!!!! SO SO SO TALENTED!!!
He's one of my favorite artists and Breathe is one of my absolute favorites of his songs. This version is even more emotional and I got the chills.
Now this is magical. Damn Lauv, pure talent.
I live for Lauv live stripped version of his songgs

Never thought after hearing the same song of Lauv, sang by him in a different version, I fell in love again with it.
I wish I can see this version Live.
So so good
I never knew I needed this until this very moment 💕
He’s got such a great tone to his voice.

His voice is my favorite instrument...🔥
This literally makes me wanna cry 😭 the emotion, the lyrics, everything!

it's so sad to realize the meaning of this song. loving someone for the long run then you suddenly felt the downside of your story.
all I can say is, I admire you so much... I'm dying to listen in all your songs.. I LOVE YOU LAUV...❤️❤️❤️
He just touched my soul with his voice
🔥Wow.. keep doing these acoustic sessions lauv. They really show how much talent you have. ❤️
Did anyone else think that the full version was heavily auto tuned? It’s remarkable to watch him do it acoustically and see how much vocal control he has, really impressive
i love Lauv! Mahogany is the best!
Stunning performance!👏

Who else loves the 'yeah'

This song has gotten me through every single anxiety attack I've had and I can instantly say from the first line, I'm okay now
i literally cried listening to this
My favorite of his songs.
This song is so strong. Every time I here it. I think of the one I loved most. Who let me go. This song is so true and strong. We all need need room to breath. But don't ever, ever let go
Even the piano has more emotion in mahogany sessions
