DUNCAN SHEIK - Barely Breathing lyrics

rate me

Well, 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, if 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

Well 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,

You're worth the price

The price that I would pay

But I'm thinking it over anyway...

I’m thinking it over anyway...

Ooh...

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

I don't suppose it's worth the price,

You're 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’re doing

I see it all too clear...
