Breathing Me In - kovEN

Write down what’s in your head

So you don’t have to say it out loud

Take one step backwards

So we don’t have to do this right now

Once it’s all out, I will fall down

I know that it’s been coming for a while

While I try, you were focused on a different heart

Heard it beating, I was needing

The reassurance that you never gave

Found a way, to block these signs out, even when you

Stopped breathing me in

Stopped taking my time

I focused on the last line

Stopped feeling the same

Stopped looking my way

Pretending it was all fine

So close to breaking down

Still had a smile on my face

You stopped breathing me in

And stopped needing my love

I didn’t want to see it

So as you break this heart

Tell me now, was it really so bad?

Take in a moment to inhale

What we already have

Do you feel it?

Can you hear it?

The tremble in my voice as I came through

To the truth

But turned a blind eye even when you

Stopped breathing me in

Stopped taking my time

I focused on the last line

Stopped feeling the same

Stopped looking my way

Pretending it was all fine

So close to breaking down

Still had a smile on my face

You stopped breathing me in

And stopped needing my love

I didn’t want to see it

Stopped breathing me in

Stopped taking my time

I focused on the last line

Stopped feeling the same

Stopped looking my way

Pretending it was all fine

So close to breaking down

Still had a smile on my face

You stopped breathing me in

And stopped needing my love

Stopped breathing me in

Stopped taking my time

I focused on the last line

Stopped feeling the same

Stopped looking my way

Pretending it was all fine

So close to breaking down

Still had a smile on my face

You stopped breathing me in

And stopped needing my love

I didn’t want to see it
