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

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 good-bye

'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 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, you 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
