Hold My Breath

(album: Daisy Chain - 2022)

I see the signs but, c'mon throw a dog a bone
I'm stubborn at the best of times, am I gonna end up alone?
I see the pain, I hear your voice, but don't
I recover in a distant place, then tell you I'm home

So if you're not picking up what I'm putting down
Then tell me what is left to do, but burn it to the ground
Now I'm not picking up what you're putting down
There's a mirror in between us
We've got to stop looking round

I can hold my breath for a lifetime if it's right
Honey now I'll turn blue, just to keep this thing alive
C'mon break my heart, save my life
Keep me hanging on despite
I'll hold my breath for a lifetime
Cause I know that we're right

The view from outside is worth its weight more than gold
I could reach if I took the time, but I always implode
Shadows and light, all that the world beholds
We see what we want to, believe what we're told

So if you're not picking up what I'm putting down
Then tell me what is left to do, but burn it to the ground
Now I'm not picking up what you're putting down
There's a mirror in between us
We've got to stop looking round

I can hold my breath for a lifetime if it's right
Honey now I'll turn blue, just to keep this thing alive
C'mon break my heart, save my life
Keep me hanging on despite
I'll hold my breath for a lifetime
Cause I know that we're right

You crushed me like dawn
In a cloudless cold
Lost lust for a deathbed
And then I proposed

You melted my armour
And the spiders crawled out
I don't have to, I wanna
Let's work it out

I can hold my breath for a lifetime if it's right
Honey now I'll turn blue, just to keep this thing alive
C'mon break my heart, save my life
Keep me hanging on despite
I'll hold my breath for a lifetime
Cause I know that we're right

You crushed me like dawn
In a cloudless cold
Lost lust for a deathbed
And then I proposed

You melted my armour
And the spiders crawled out
I don't have to, I wanna
Let's work it out
