Borrowed Breath Lyrics by Heartsmith

2024

[Verse One]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse Two]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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?
