Lyrics:
Late at night when your words are eating me alive
Does it make you sad, to leave me here like that?
In my dreams the blood runs from my eyes
If I fall, will you catch me in your arms? (Catch me in your arms)
When you asked me who‚ I should have said it's you
Now it seems like it will never be, we’ll never be
Oh, if I hold my breath until I die‚ I'll be alright
Oh, if I hold my breath until I die, I'll be alright
Oh‚ if I (If I) hold my breath (Hold my)
Until I die (If I), I'll be alright
Oh, if I (If I) hold my breath (Hold my)
Until I die (If I), I'll be alright
Shame on me 'cause I can't help falling at your feet
It makes me mad to see you leave like that
I'm so lost, running circles in my head
If I jump, will you catch me in your arms? (Catch me in your arms)
When you asked me who, I should have said it's you
Now it seems like it will never be, we’ll never be
Oh, if I hold my breath until I die‚ I'll be alright
Oh, if I hold my breath until I die, I'll be alright
Oh‚ if I (If I) hold my breath (Hold my)
Until I die (If I), I'll be alright
Oh, if I (If I) hold my breath (Hold my)
Until I die (If I), I'll be alright
I said I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
Does it bother you? (Bother you)
Why does it bother you? (Bother you)
I said I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
Does it bother you? (Bother you)
Why does it bother you? (Bother you)
Oh, if I hold my breath until I die, I'll be alright
Oh‚ if I (If I) hold my breath (Hold my)
Until I die (If I), I'll be alright
Oh, if I (If I) hold my breath (Hold my)
Until I die (If I), I'll be alright
Oh‚ if I (If I) hold my breath (Hold my)
Until I die (If I), I'll be alright
I said I'm sorry, does it bother you? {If I hold my}
Why does it bother you?
I said I'm sorry, does it bother you? {If I hold my}
Why does it bother you?
