Barely Breathing

Duncan Sheik
Duncan Sheik

Verse 1-

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

Verse 2-

I believed in your confusion,
you were so completely torn
Well it must have been that yesterday
was the day that I was born

Verse 3-

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 good-bye...

Chorus-

'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

Verse 4-

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?

Chorus-

'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

Bridge-

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

Chorus-

'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...
