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 had 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
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 come and go

*repeat 4^th stanza*

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

barely breathing don't know what to say even if friend of mine if life is so short invisible war more than you'll ever know say it somebody take me i'll follow
