barely breathing
duncan shiek

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've 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 
when you have to ask me why
i say goodbye

'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

and everyone keeps asking 
what's it all about
i used to be so certain, 
now I can't figure out
what is this attraction, 
it's only filled with pain
and 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
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

come to find, i may never know
a changing mind is a friend or foe
i'll rise above, i'll sink below
but every time you come and go
please don't come and go

'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

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