Keep This Air Inside Of Me

Lyrics

I keep it inside of me Hideous eyes all sullen Up in my fear, I'm falling Even if you don't see it Even if you don't need To come to grips with me It is a long way out Every step I freeze I keep this air inside of me 'Cause up here, it's hard to breathe When these words would cut you down When it hurts to speak them out I'm on thin ice, I'm crawling Somewhere along the road And my heart sounds so close Wish it could be controlled Even if you don't hear it Beating up bits in me Making me end up here Worrying that I need To keep this air inside of me 'Cause up here, it's hard to breathe When these words would cut you down When it hurts to speak them out If only I'd discovered from the start The goal will always be one step too far I would have left it for another time I would have left it for another life If only I could see the warning signs I'd be ready when the tide is high Oh, take me on a different ride Oh, take me to the other side I keep this air inside of me 'Cause up here, it's hard to breathe When these words would cut you down Keep this air inside of me Keep this air inside of me 'Cause up here, it's hard to breathe When these words would cut you down When it hurts to speak them out I keep this air inside of me
