Barley 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 goodbye


'Cause I am barely breathing and I can't find the air

I don't know who I'm kidding, imaging 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, imaging 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


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, imaging 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


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