Barely Breathing by Glee

I know what you're doing
I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline
when I kiss away your tears

You really had me going, wishing on a star
but the black holes that surround you
are heavier by far

I believed in your confusion
you were so completely torn
well it must have been that yesterday
was the day that I was born

There's not much to examine
there's nothing left to hide
you really can't be serious
if you have to ask me why

I say good-bye...

'cause I am barely breathing
and i can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding
imagining you care,
and i could stand here waiting
a fool for another day
but I don't suppose it's worth the price
it's worth the price, the price that I would pay

Everyone keeps asking, what's it all about?
I used to be so certain and I can't figure out
what is this attraction? I only feel the pain
there's nothing left to reason and only you to blame
will it ever change?

'cause I am barely breathing
and i can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding
imagining you care,
and i could stand here waiting
a fool for another day
but I don't suppose it's worth the price
it's worth the price, the price that I would pay

But I'm thinking it over anyway...
But I'm thinking it over anyway...

I've come to find, I may never know
your changing mind, is it friend or foe?
I rise above or sink below
with every time you come and go
please don't, you come and go

'cause I am barely breathing
and i can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding
imagining you care,
and i could stand here waiting
a fool for another day
but I don't suppose it's worth the price
it's worth the price, the price that I would pay

But I'm thinking it over anyway...
But I'm thinking it over anyway...

I know what you're doing
I see it all too clear
