Alive (But Barely Breathing) Lyrics by Eric Barao

Eric Barao

2013

[Verse 1]
Once into it i don't ever want to quit
But you know very well that this can't go on
Okay i admit i shouldn't have ever started it
But once pressed to my lips all hope was gone
[Chorus]
Alive but barely breathing
Your smile is so deceiving
Give me a lie to keep believing
Or show me the only thing that never dies
[Verse 2]
The spark ignites the flame
The ending's always just the same
What makes me so anxious
When you're not around
If things aren't working out
I just can't seem to do without
This one dirty habit
You're hard to put down
[Chorus]
Alive but barely breathing
Your smile is so deceiving
Give me a lie to keep believing
Or show me the only thing
That never dies
[Bridge]
I'm sorry that's how i am
In like a lion, out like a lamb
[Chorus]
Alive but barely breathing
You're smile is so deceiving
Give me a lie to keep believing
Or show me the only thing
Show me the only thing
Show me the only thing
That never dies
