barely breathing

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

the black holes that surround you

are heavier by far

i believed in your confusion

so completely torn

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

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

yeah yeah

yeah

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

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

yeah yeah

yeah

but i'm thinking it over anyway

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

but i don't suppose it's worth the price

it's worth the price

the price

that i would pay

yeah yeah

yeah

but i'm thinking it over anyway

i'm thinking it over anyway

well

i know what you're doing

i see it all too clear
