The song "Breathless" by The Hails is about a tumultuous relationship that leaves the narrator feeling overwhelmed and powerless. The lyrics suggest that the narrator's partner takes advantage of them financially and emotionally, and doesn't always treat them with the respect or attention they deserve. Despite these issues, the narrator is still deeply enamored with their partner and can't seem to let go of the relationship. The chorus repeats the line "she still leaves me breathless," which could refer to the intense emotions the narrator feels for their partner, or the way that their partner makes them feel physically and mentally drained. Throughout the song, there are hints that the narrator knows the relationship is not healthy or sustainable. They talk about wanting to "lose [their] mind" and feeling like they're waiting around for nothing. However, they also express a reluctance to let go of their partner and a desire to keep things going despite the problems. Overall, "Breathless" is a bittersweet and complex exploration of love, desire, and power dynamics in relationships.
