You Forgot To Breathe

Your body's shivering, shortness of breath
I shouldn't have let you get so upset
I say "There's no queue but darling, there's a wait
For a life that's worth living instead of all this pain"

I never know what I'm supposed to say
So I unfocus my eyes and turn away
Maybe you're thinking of the house where you lived
But now the keys don't fit

Your breathing's heavy now, more than before
Fingers are curling up into a claw
Your lips are going numb, you try to talk
I say "Don't try to talk, baby don't talk, look at me"

And you say "It feels like it will always be
Too much for me

When will it feel like something's going right?"
I say "It's just a thing that takes a little time
There's no queue but darling, there's a wait
For a life that's worth living instead of all this pain"

Your tears are drying now, the shaking's stopped
You say you're feeling better, I know you're not
I've come to notice the difference between
What you say and what you mean

So I say that it is how its always been
You and me
So I say that it is how it's always been
You and me
