Breathe Lyrics
Don't blame me just because I am bored
I'm needy, I need to taste it all
Don't doubt me just because I am quiet
I'm thinking, thinking about it all
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm helpless about the way of me
I'm thinking, thinking about it all
I'm sorting everything inside
I'm looking in the space
[Chorus]
This time, this void
I'm making my way through the muddy minutes
The pull is in my muscle
The ache is in my bones
It's hard to be alone
Breathe, breathe, it won't be long now, breathe, breathe
It won't be long now, breathe, breathe
It won't be long now, breathe, breathe
[Verse 2]
See through me when I put up a fight
Like you to see the things I hide
Go deeper than I won't let you know
I'm frightened but I won't let it show
I'm helpless (I'm helpless) about the way of me
I'm thinking (I'm thinking), thinking about it all
I'm sorting everything inside
I'm looking in the space
[Chorus]
This time, this void
I'm making my way through the muddy minutes
The pull is in my muscle
The ache is in my bones (Bones)
It's hard to be alone (To be alone)
Breathe, breathe, it won't be long now, breathe, breathe
It won't be long now, breathe, breathe
It won't be long now, breathe, breathe
[Bridge]
Breathe, breathe
Breathe, breathe
Breathe, breathe
[Chorus]
Breathe, breathe, it won't be long now, breathe, breathe
It won't be long now, breathe, breathe
It won't be long now, breathe, breathe
It won't be long now, breathe, breathe
It won't be long now, breathe, breathe
It won't be long now, breathe, breathe
It won't be long now, breathe, breathe
It won't be long now, breathe, breathe
It won't be long now, breathe, breathe
It won't be long now, breathe, breathe
It won't be long now, breathe, breathe

The music video features the single version of the song, which is more fast paced, compared to the album version of the song, which is much slower. The single version is around three minutes and forty seconds long, where the album version is around four minutes and thirty-eight seconds long.
On a list of 30 of Kylie Minogue’s best singles, published on September 25, 2020, The Guardian ranked it as Kylie Minogue 28th best single, saying:
Impossible Princess in 1997 doubled down on its predecessor’s fruitless quest for alternative cred, but people did not want Kylie singing Manic Street Preachers songs and quoting Billy Childish poems. Still, it has its moments, as evidenced by the shimmering synths and Balearic beat of Breathe, co-produced by Soft Cell’s Dave Ball.
