Barely Breathing Lyrics by Duncan Sheik

Barely Breathing

I know what youre doing,
I see it all to 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 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
But Im thinking it over anyway
