Borrowed Breath Lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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 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
