We started out fine
but over time
things crashed down
they fell to the ground
i was ripped apart
i have a whole in my heart
but i still need you to breathe

lets slow it down
pick me up from the ground
dont leave now
but if you do
when i stop breathing keep your arms around me

i wouldn't change anything
you still mean everything to me
but as i watch you change
i drive myself insane
missing the old you
you build me up
then break me down

lets slow it down
pick me up from the ground
dont leave now
but if you do
when i stop breathing keep your arms around me

this ties knots in my stomach
you tie ropes around my throat
im breaking down, do you have to leave right now?
i dont know when
but i want to breathe everynow and then
dont let go, dont leave me all alone

lets slow it down
pick me up from the ground
dont leave now
but if you do
when i stop breathing keep your arms around me

dont leave me
dont go now but if you do
when i stop breathing keep your arms around me
dont let go of me now
hold me if i dont make a sound
pretend we're ok
hide me from what you want to say..and
when i stop breathing keep your arms around me......please
