Barely Breathing
Duncan Sheik
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
It must've 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,
You have to ask me why
I say goodbye
Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I am kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the prize, worth the price
The price that I would pay
And everyone keeps asking,
What's it all about?
I used to be so certain
And I can't figure out
What is this attraction?
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
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
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
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don't suppose it's worth the prize, it's worth the price
The price that I would pay
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway
And I know what you are doing
I see it all too clear
