Hold My Breath >
May.23.03
You're all I have left
So I hold my breath...
Verse1:
Caught in this reality that seems never to change
Since the day you left me it's been quiet and strange
Life stopped around me and time stood still
Leaving me scared with this hollow to fill
Inside looking out to the eye of the storm
My memories raging, all tattered and torn
Standing in the middle, so deceptively calm
Blind from not knowing that everything's gone
Chorus1:
I won't let my world fall on me
This illusion is all I have left
For you I will wait an eternity
But till then I hold my breath...
Verse2:
I can surround myself in a cocoon of pretend
So I won't have to live through my sorrow again
Blissfully unaware of everything that hurts
But my lungs are so tired they're going to burst
The part of me that's still conscience and awake
Is worried about how much more I can take
Yet the part of me that's so in love with you
Won't let me breathe till my body turns blue
Chorus2:
Don't shatter the world built around me
This illusion is all I have left
For you I will wait an eternity
But till then I hold my breath...
Ending:
You've taken away the core of me
(I want it back, I want you back)
You can free me, you can save me
Ohhhhhhhh you're all I have left
All I ask for is one single breath
Until then I'll hold my....
