Lately I’ve been going through the motions
I’ve been shining but it’s just a masquerade
Beneath the fight I bear a thousand sorrows
And it [bad word] my innocence
 
I face the world with faded eyes
If only [bad word] back to me
 [bad word] back to [bad word] back to me
(holding my breath, holding my breath)
 
Left me wondering where lies the meaning
and I’m holding on to no reasons why
Live in this world
sheltering us from honesty
So we believe in lies
So we believe in lies
 
I face the world with faded eyes
If only [bad word] back to me
 [bad word] back to [bad word] back to me
(holding my breath, holding my breath, holding my breath, holding my breath)
 
I’m not ready, I’m not ready, ready, ready for you to go
I’m not ready, I’m not ready, I’m not ready for you to go
 
I’m holding my heart on a string of broken yarn
Pull me in
I’m holding my breath for the air that brings me love, brings love
