Barely Breathing Lyrics By 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’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 you’re 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 i can only feel the pain
there’s nothing left to reason and only you to blame
will it ever change

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

i know what you’re doing i see it all too clear
