Hold My Breath
[Hook]
And I'm short a best friend tonight/
And I wonder if you'll ever return/
And every day I'm holding my breath, longing to hear from you/
But your silence is deafening, and I'm turning blue/

[Verse 1]
Food doesn't have taste, I don't sleep/
When I do I dream of you and we/
Are happy like we used to be/
Then I wake up to reality, I die all over again/
My friend, oh why/
Remember our first date? We watched The Blindside/
Ironic, that that's how we'd end/
How could I be so oblivious?/
And I never once suspected, how long had you been leaving?/
Guess I noticed you were quieter but I thought it was a season/
But no, you cooled down slow, while I burned hotter/
I'm crying in the snow, I'm moaning to the Father/
It was supposed to be a normal phone call, but it wasn't/
What do you mean you’ve changed, and that you're not in love with (me)?/
Everything we built for so long?/
Is just a tear-stained crater post-Bomb
Broken hearts sing along/

[Verse 2]
I'm so torn, two of the things I most want are millions of miles apart/
More than anything I want you to be happy, but I also wanna hold your heart/
When did those two become strangers to you?/
I remember the day when they were one and the same/
What is everything to me now seem like nothing to you/
Your heart is foreign to me with that same familiar face/
O God, what happened? We talked about forever together about a month ago/
She said that she'd been navigating rough seas lately; why can't I save her from the undertow?/
And I'm hurting cuz you're gone and I'm hurting cuz you're hurting/
But you cringe when I care and I don't wanna be a burden/
But how can I not care? I loved you like my wife-to-be/
These feelings won't die inside of me/

[Bridge]
Please don't leave me in the dark/
I wanna know how you are/
I don't think you told the whole story/
Holding my breath, but I'm gonna die shortly/ 2x
And I miss you, I miss you, I miss you/ 3x
Please change your mind/

[Outro]
I hope you understand, I can't turn off my feelings/
God am I just waiting for them to die?/
So many words I'd like to say/
Could I change your mind with a soliloquy?/
Can't believe how different things are now/
