Before It Sinks In

Suspended in the air, I hear myself breathing
Hanging by a thread, my heart is barely beating
I haven't fallen yet, but I feel it comin'
Tell me, would it be too much to ask if you break it to me gently?

That I'm waking the next day without you beside me
And who I hold on to today, tomorrow will just be a memory
And then I would look back at all of this
And wonder why I stayed in here just to watch you disappear

So I breathe and let you go
How do I breathe and let you go?

Before it's too late, I'll take a step away
I know one word would make me go rushing back to you
So I'll just shut my eyes, forget that you were mine
How do you go from making one your home and then just letting it all go?
Let me take it in before it sinks in

Far beyond my reach is the future you promised
Now what I never even had, I have every reason to miss
And I don't know where I could find the strength to let you go
When the only love I've come to know packed his bags and left me alone
You found another home

So before it's too late, I'll take a step away
I know one word would make me go rushing back to you
And I'll just shut my eyes, forget that you were mine
How do you go from making one your home and then just letting it all go?
Let me take it in before it sinks in

Go
Go
Go
Go

Before it's too late, I'll take a step away
I know one word would make me go rushing back to you
I'll just shut my eyes, forget that you were mine
How do you go from making one your home and then just letting it all go?
Let me take it in before it sinks in
