Late nights, held up high above the clouds
Drifting further from all that could've been
It's the only place that I can be by myself
Without it all weighing down on me
As light arrives to pull me down from my sleep
I'm left grasping at colours I can't keep; you know
That I'm not one to put my heart on my sleeve
But this is what you do to me
If only I could breathe
If only I could breathe
Some days, although these walls cannot speak
I hear them whisper, calling out to me; you know
That I'm not one to go and lie through my teeth
I could've sworn it was you, next to me
So tell me stories I remember how it used to be
Tell me all the things you wish didn't see
Let it happen, and time will set you free
Talking to a shadow, now I find myself
Though I'd never admit it, I would never say it
This is what you do to me
Oh, this is what you're doing to me
If only I could breathe
If only I could breathe
Just leave me alone
I'll wake in time, on my own
I'll learn how to fly, high in the sky
In my dreams I'll feel so alive
And I'm falling
Stories, I remember how it used to be
Tell me all the things you wish didn't see
Let it happen, and time will set you free
Talking to a shadow, now I find myself
Though I'd never admit it, I would never say it
This is what you do to me
Oh, this is what you're doing to me
If only I could breathe
If only I could breathe
