Barely Breathing
Cardiac arrest heart pounding out of my chest
Don't wanna become like a crash test dummy
If I let you down would you still want me around
If I'm broken would you still love me
What if I stumble, what if I crawl
What if I trip and what if I fall
What if I lie just to hide from the truth
What if I waste all the days of my youth
Cardiac arrest heart pounding out of my chest
Don't wanna become like a crash test dummy
If I let you down would you still want me around
If I'm broken would you still want me
I'm barely breathing, I'm barely holding on
I'm barely breathing but I won't let you down
I'm picking up the pieces that were torn apart
I'm picking up the pieces for a brand new start
What if these words we're all sung in vain
What if I called out and nobody came
What if tomorrow is more of the same
Would you lose faith and then walk away
Cardiac arrest heart pounding out of my chest
Don't wanna become like a crash test dummy
If I let you down would you still want me around
If I'm broken would you still want me
I'm barely breathing, I'm barely holding on
I'm barely breathing but I won't let you down
I'm picking up the pieces that were torn apart
I'm picking up the pieces for a brand new start
I'm still begging as you start leaving
I'm still bleeding for whats been missing
I'm still seeing how much you've given
All I'm asking is you just stick around
that you just stick around
Cardiac arrest heart pounding out of my chest
Don't wanna become like a crash test dummy
I'm barely breathing, I'm barely holding on
I'm barely breathing but I won't let you down
I'm picking up the pieces that were torn apart
I'm picking up the pieces for a brand new start
I'm barely breathing, I'm barely holding on
I'm barely breathing but I won't let you down
Don't wanna become like a crash test dummy
If I let you down would you still want me around
If I'm broken would you still love me
What if I stumble, what if I crawl
What if I trip and what if I fall
What if I lie just to hide from the truth
What if I waste all the days of my youth
Cardiac arrest heart pounding out of my chest
Don't wanna become like a crash test dummy
If I let you down would you still want me around
If I'm broken would you still want me
I'm barely breathing, I'm barely holding on
I'm barely breathing but I won't let you down
I'm picking up the pieces that were torn apart
I'm picking up the pieces for a brand new start
What if these words we're all sung in vain
What if I called out and nobody came
What if tomorrow is more of the same
Would you lose faith and then walk away
Cardiac arrest heart pounding out of my chest
Don't wanna become like a crash test dummy
If I let you down would you still want me around
If I'm broken would you still want me
I'm barely breathing, I'm barely holding on
I'm barely breathing but I won't let you down
I'm picking up the pieces that were torn apart
I'm picking up the pieces for a brand new start
I'm still begging as you start leaving
I'm still bleeding for whats been missing
I'm still seeing how much you've given
All I'm asking is you just stick around
that you just stick around
Cardiac arrest heart pounding out of my chest
Don't wanna become like a crash test dummy
I'm barely breathing, I'm barely holding on
I'm barely breathing but I won't let you down
I'm picking up the pieces that were torn apart
I'm picking up the pieces for a brand new start
I'm barely breathing, I'm barely holding on
I'm barely breathing but I won't let you down
