Barely Breathing

        I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear--
        I only taste the saline when I kiss away you 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, 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.
        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.
        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, 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're doing...
        I see it all too clear...
