Harder To Breathe Lyrics
So condescending, unnecessarily critical
I have the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step, 'cause if I do you'll need a miracle
This double vision I was seeing is finally clear
You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone
Not fit to funkin' tread the ground I’m walking on
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we’re gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster
That lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there?
'Cause it’s getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there?
'Cause it’s getting harder and harder to breathe
Screwing things up inside my head
You should know better
You never listened to a word I said
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did...
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we’re gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster
That lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there?
'Cause it’s getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there?
'Cause it’s getting harder and harder to breathe
Does it burn?
Is it painful to learn
That it's me that has all the control?
Does it sting
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold?
Ok... Having read through some of these "song interpretations" if thats what you call saying "OMG I love maroon 5 they're so great, blah blah blah...." I thought that maybe I'd do what we're supposed to do here and say what I think the song is about.
Perhaps a man and a woman get into a relationship and she finds out only too late that he's a sex offender or abusive or something (I have the tendancy of getting very physical so watch your step cause if I do you'll need a miracle). So she stands up to him and tells him what he's doing is wrong and the lyrics to the song are him exploding to what she says.
He immidiately challenges what she says (How dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable so condescending unnecessarily critical)
He makes her feel like no one will have her besides him (When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love)
He taunts her and shows his power over her(Does it kill does it burn is it painful to learn that it’s me that has all the control?
And then to top it off he uses scare tactics to make her afraid of him (And like a little girl cries in the Face of a monster that lives in her dreams. Is there anyone out there cause it’s getting harder and harder to breathe?)
I personally don't see anything that indicates that the girl in the relationship has done anything wrong. Perhaps I'm overlooking anything, but I think this song is just about a sicko flipping out on his girlfriend. It was the song that Law and Order: SVU used in it's ad's was it not?
Thanks, this song was giving me bad vibes, now I explain why.

I think It's about just doing whatever he wants and you'll still love it. lol
This song is actually a 'filler' for the album. Frustrated after being pushed by their record label to write more songs for the album, Levine came up with this song/rant aimed at the particular label.
I percieve this song to be that the narrator feels trapped in a relationship. He has deep feelings for the other person, even though they're not treating them that well. Now the tables have turned, and it's hurting him more than it's hurting her.
i adore this song. its not even deep, but its ultra fabu.
as others have said, its about being trapped into a relationship, but not trapped because the other person is control. more about being trapped, because theres nothing else for you, nowhere else to go. or thats how i see it, but then again, im feeling like that right now.
good song.
According to the album, it's "funkin' tread," which makes absolutely no sense. I guess putting that means they can play the song on the radio without taking the word out? Don't know.
This song reminds me of when Maroon 5 was still a rock band.
i agree with you the songs about jane is my maroon 5's favourite album

this song is very upbeat.. n its intersting.. i dont know wut to say? i like it tho.. it like puts in me a good mood...i think its about where there is this person who treats the other pretty bad and well he dumps her and then when he realizes hes alone he wants someone for him .. hence the is there anyone out there its getting harder and harder to breathe... yadda yadda.. i dont know????!
