Heartsmith - Borrowed Breath

{verse one}
I know how to talk in a way
That you'd never know there’s water risen above my face
I become someone else when i act like i'm well
So tell me how you know to ask if i'm okay

{chorus}
When i can feel my heart sinking down in my chest
Yet somehow it’s still caught inside my throat
And i have words to say but i'm too out of breath
Yet it feels like too much to ask
If you have some i can borrow

{verse two}
Oh why did you have to look at me and say
Hey, can you be honest
Are you doing okay
Cause now i can feel the way
You opened up the floodgates
And i'm afraid you'll drown if you try to stay

{chorus}
When i can feel my heart sinking down in my chest
Yet somehow it's still caught inside my throat
And i have words to say but i'm too out of breath
Yet it feels like too much to ask
If you have some i can borrow

{bridge}
Oh why are you still here
Wanting to be let in
I have told you before
Should i tell you again
I live on borrowed breath
Why would you want this
Always giving me your oxygen
Convincing yourself it's just a kiss

{chorus}
When i can feel my heart sinking down in my chest
Yet somehow it's still caught inside my throat
And i have words to say but i’m too out of breath

{outro}
Yet you’re waiting for me to ask
May i have breath to borrow
Oh may i have breath to borrow
So may i have breath to borrow
