barely breathing

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
The black holes that surround you

Are heavier by far

I believed in your confusion
So completely torn
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 good-bye

‘Cause I am barely breathing
And I can’t find the air
Don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care


And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day

I don’t suppose it’s worth the price

It's 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
Don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care

And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don’t suppose it’s worth the price

It's 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
Don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care


And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price

It's worth the price
The price that I would pay
But I’m thinking it over anyway

I'm thinking it over anyway

Well, I know what you're doing
I see it all too clear
