Verse 1

N.C. Em7 A
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.
I believed in your confusion, you're so completely torn.
It must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born.
There's not much to examine, nothing left to hide.
You really can't be serious, to have to ask me why
I say goodbye...

Chorus

'Cause I am barely breathing, 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;
I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah.

Verse 2

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 by pain?
There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame,
Will it ever change?

Chorus

'Cause I am barely breathing, 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;
I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah.
But I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Bridge

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...

Chorus

'Cause I am barely breathing, 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;
I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah.

Outro

But I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...
I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...
And I know what you're doin', I see it all too clear...
