Holding Breath

Holding my breath, waiting for the fall
Every word's like silence, there's nothing left at all
We're standing on the edge, but neither one will leap
Afraid of what's ahead, though the end's already deep

I'm holding my breath, waiting for the break
This isn't love, it's just how much we can take
I can feel it slipping, can you feel it too?
But the last thing I want is to walk away hating you

So let's take the memories, leave the rest behind
We don't need to drag each other through this fight
You once made me feel like the luckiest guy
Even when it ends, let's keep our heads high
I won't talk shit when we part
'Cause you once held all of my heart
We're holding our breath, but the truth's too strong
It's not about winning, we've held on to, too long
Too, too long

We smile through the cracks, ignoring what we know
But inside we both feel, there's nothing left to show
It's not the end that hurts, it's the waiting in between
Standing side by side, but love's no longer seen

I'm holding my breath, hoping it won't break
But every second we pretend feels like a mistake
I can feel it fading, can you feel it too?
But the last thing I want is to leave with bad news

So let's take the memories, leave the rest behind
We don't need to drag each other through this fight
You once made me feel like the luckiest guy
Even when it ends, let's keep our heads high
I won't talk shit when we part
Cause you once held all of my heart
We're holding our breath, but the truth's too strong
It's not about winning, we've held on to, too long

Let's not make it ugly, just walk away
I'll remember the better days
No bitter words, no blame, we getting over this pain
Let's this fade and we will breath again

So I'm holding my breath for one last time
When it's over, I'll be fine
The only thing about you I'll remind is
You once made me feel like the luckiest guy
