barely
breathing lyrics
and music by duncan sheik
I know what
youre doing, I see it all to 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 farI believed in your confusion, you
were so completely torn
Well it must have been that yesterday was the day that I
was born
Theres not much to examine, theres nothing
left to hide
You really cant be serious if you have to ask me
why
I say good-bye...
Cause I am barely breathing
And I cant find the air
I dont know who Im kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I dont suppose its worth the price, worth
the price
The price that I would pay
Everyone keeps asking, whats it all about?
I used to be so certain and I cant figure out
What is this attraction? I only feel the pain
Theres nothing left to reason and only you to blame
Will it ever change?
Cause I am barely breathing
And I cant find the air
I dont know who Im kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I dont suppose its worth the price, worth
the price
The price that I would pay
But Im thinking it over anyway...
Ive 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 dont come and go
Cause I am barely breathing
And I cant find the air
I dont know who Im kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I dont suppose its worth the price, worth
the price
The price that I would pay
But Im thinking it over anyway...
