I keep losing my breath
Like I been diving too deep
And I see you in my head
You're on my mind I'm too weak
So tell me what to do
To get my mind off you
I keep losing my breath
Every time that you speak
Lately I've been feeling like a time bomb
And every second is another that I've wasted
Even now I really wonder if that makes sense
Ain't it funny what the day brings
Tell me what you meant when you said
That you never meant no offense
Because I never thought you did
But now I wonder if there's more to this
You gave me cause to think
And man that's never been a good thing
Twisted in my head like a contortionist
I went to war with just a balled-up fist
Of course I missed
Don't you wonder if you caused all this?
Or are you so sure
Nothing's ever your fault
When I'm the one who fell for it
Give me one good reason to trust you
Honestly I'd love to
But you'd never budge so
I wouldn't point a finger
If it wasn't deserved
I didn't bottle up my feelings
So I could swallow my words
I keep losing my breath
Like I been diving too deep
And I see you in my head
You're on my mind I'm too weak
Feel like I'm living in the background
Hoping that you'll bring yourself to back down
Think of something different by the time that I come back round
And it's my decision that I'm sitting at the back now
Carrying the weight of your suspicion put my back out
And I act up? You can't get your facts straight
Whether it's deserved or whether you just had a bad day
Furnacing your words I feel them burning like an ashtray
Watching as they cascade further to the bad place
And I know I ain't a saint
But I'm nothing in the face of suffering that you create
If it's judgement that you're aiming for two can play the game
Feel like I've been falling further ever since you came my way
And it's amazing that I'm making that direct
You tried to hold a candle to my flesh
I'm fighting for the manhood I have left
Because I'm so sure
That's the first thing that you'll go for
I keep losing my breath
Like I been diving too deep
And I see you in my head
You're on my mind I'm too weak
So tell me what to do
To get my mind off you
I keep losing my breath
Every time that you speak
