I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
You really had me goin', wishing on a star
The black holes that surround you are heavier by far
I believed in your confusion, you were so completely torn
It must've been that yesterday was the day that I was born
There's not much to examine, nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious
If you have to ask me why I say goodbye
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
You're worth the price, the price that I would pay
And everyone keeps asking, "What's it all about?"
I used to be so certain and I can't figure out
What is this attraction?
I only feel the pain
Nothing left to reason and only you to blame
Will it ever change?
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
You're worth the price, the price that I would pay
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway
I've come to find I may never know
Your changing mind, is it friend or foe?
I rise above or sink below
With every time you come and go
Please don't come and go
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
You're worth the price, the price that I would pay
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway
And I know what you're doin'
I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
You really had me goin', wishing on a star
The black holes that surround you are heavier by far
I believed in your confusion, you were so completely torn
It must've been that yesterday was the day that I was born
There's not much to examine, nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious
If you have to ask me why I say goodbye
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
You're worth the price, the price that I would pay
And everyone keeps asking, "What's it all about?"
I used to be so certain and I can't figure out

Nothing left to reason and only you to blame

'Cause I am barely breathing

You're worth the price, the price that I would pay

I don't suppose it's worth the price
You're worth the price, the price that I would pay
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway
And I know what you're doin'
I see it all too clear
