Hold My Breath

Break down every single notion
We had poetry in motion
Take back every time we played for keeps
I wish I didn't notice

How much you can make me change my mind
(Unless you caught me on a good day)
But I'm not sure we'll ever get this right
Or if it's worth it

I've been chasing you too long
(The ghost of your memory)
There's no place that we belong

So I won't hold my breath
I won't hold my breath
I won't hold my breath

Break down every conversation we had
Lock them in the basement
Tears fall used to make me march in beat
Now I don't have the patience

I hear the song but the melody don't sound right
(Until you make another sound, babe)
Wait for my confession, I don't mind
But it's not worth it

I've been chasing you too long
(The ghost of your memory)
There's no place that we belong

So I won't hold my breath
I won't hold my breath
I won't hold my breath

Something's wrong
We thought we'd go about our business, darling
I can slowly feel the tension building up behind our words, oh
So if you decide you'd like to make things better
Then we'll fix it now or leave forever
'Cause you always say that we can make this work
But I won't hold my breath

So I won't hold my breath
I won't hold my breath
I won't hold my breath
