Pretending Not To Breathe Lyrics by Barrie-James O’Neill

Strange Desire

2021

Babe
Who you gonna love tonight?
How you gonna feel my love?
Alone you live until you need to go
Running from your fears, (hell no?)
And how, how you gonna dream?
When all you want to do
Is lie here in your sleep
Pretending not to breathe
Lying endlessly
And friend what are you gonna do night?
What are you gonna see?
And where you wanna go?
And why do you feel the need to hide?
And why you gonna run?
Is leaving for you fun?
And how, how you gonna dream?
When all you want to do
Is lie here in your sleep
And how, how you gonna dream?
When all you want to do
Is lie here in your sleep
Pretending not to breathe
Lying endlessly
Babe
Who you love tonight?
How you gonna be my love?
And why do you feel the need to hide?
And why you gonna run?
Babe, run
And how, how you gonna dream?
When all you want to do
Is lie here in your sleep
And how, how you gonna dream?
When all you want to do
Is lie here in your sleep
Pretending not to breathe
Lying endlessly
Can you tell me all the things you know?
Like when its time to leave this dream and go
Can you tell me all the things I want to know?
Can you tell me all the things you know?
Like when its time to leave this dream and go
