Barely Breathing
I don't know what it is. Sometimes, looking back on life already finished, things that you can never change or want to experience again, I get sentimental. I remember expectional moments, even in the worst of times, and I start to feel so… sad. Sometimes you wish for the past so badly that you can't bear to face the future. There are so many examples, so many places, things, people I miss. People I might never see again, but once held such a colossal place in my heart. It's hard when you start to understand that people you took for granted, ones that you thought you'd be friends with forever, might not always be there. Maybe they're already gone.
I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
You really had me going, wishing on a star
But the black holes that surround you are heavier by far
I believed in your confusion, you were so completely torn
Well it must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born
There's not much to examine, there's nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious if you have to ask me why
I say goodbye…
'Cause I am barely breathing, And I can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding, imaging you care
And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day
But I don't suppose it's worth the price, worth the price
The price that I would pay
Everyone keeps asking, what's it all about?
I used to be so certain, and I can't figure out
What is this attraction? I only feel the pain
There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame
Will it ever change?
'Cause I am barely breathing, And I can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding, imaging you care
And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day
But I don't suppose it's worth the price, worth the price
The price that I would pay
but i'm thinking it over anyway
i'm thinking it over anyway
I've come to find, I may never know
Your changing mind, is it friend or foe?
I rise above, or sink below
With every time, you come and go
Please don't come and go
'Cause I am barely breathing, And I can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding, imaging you care
And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day
But I don't suppose it's worth the price, worth the price
The price that I would pay
i know what you're doing
i see it all to clear
