Barely Breathing

by Duncan Sheik


Lyrics:

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
Well 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 goodbye

'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 worth the price
The price that I would pay

Everyone keeps asking what's it all about
I used to be so certain and now 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
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 worth the price
The price that I would pay
But 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 price worth the price
The price that I would pay
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway Ooh

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