Water contains oxygen atoms. Oxygen molecules which is what you need to breathe also contains oxygen atoms. But water and oxygen is very different compounds. This is like saying that if your house is made of wood, why can’t we just live in the woods instead of a house. They do share one common component but they are very different from each other.
