Barely Breathing (45 Version)

Duncan Sheik

I know what you're doing
I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline
When I kiss away your tearsYou really had me going, wishing on a star
But the black holes that surround you
Are heavier by farI believed in your confusion
You were so completely torn
Well it must have been that yesterday
Was the day that I was bornThere's not much to examine
There's nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious
If you have to ask me whyI 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 payEveryone 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 payBut I'm thinking it over anywayI'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, you 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
