Lyrics
[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
The black holes that surround you
Are heavier by far
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
'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
[Verse 3]
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
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
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, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh-oh
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
'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, yeah
I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh-oh
[Outro]
I know what you're doing
I see it all too clear
