hot as hell
cold as ice
sip it slow cause it’s so nice
dulls my senses
drives my pain
but i do it again
burns a bit to the touch
dangerous if its too much
if this bottle could talk…
but had a steady hand, and i got used to it
and a glass cage heart, and invited me in.
and now i’m just a basket case without him.

holding my breath
last one i’ve got left
til i see you
deliver my heart
with the pieces and parts of me
left
every last day seemed to carry the weight
of a lifetime
i watched from the ground as the gold fluttered down
from the sky
sweet sun
send me the moon
empty the skies out
bringing me one step closer to you
send it too
and i will breathe in, breathe out
til you come in and out
of you, of you
inches away from you
scared what i’ll take from you, darling
i could live with your ghost, if you say that’s the most
that i’ll get
darkness to light, move from day into night
to be near you
still here i stand, i am sinking like sand in your sea
sweet sun, send me the moon
empty the skies out
bringing me one step closer to you
send it too
and i will breathe in, breathe out
til you come in, and out
of you
never you mind whether evening should find us
together
distance can’t take what is hidden here safe
in my chest
wait for the day when we finally say
now, we’re never
til then i’ll be here wanting more as i settle for
atmosphere
sweet sun, send me the moon
empty the skies out
bringing me one step closer to you
send it too
and i will breathe in, breathe out
til you come in and out
i breathe in, breathe out
til you come in
i will breathe in, breathe out
til you come in and out
of you, of you.

car is parked, bags are packed
but what kind of heart doesn’t look back?
and the comfortable glow from the porch
the one i would still call yours
all those words came undone
and how i’m not the only one
facing the ghost that decided
the first inside still burns
all i have, all i need
he’s the air i would kill to breathe
holds my love, his hands
still i’m searching for something
out of breathe i’m left
hoping some day
i’ll breathe again
i’ll breathe again.
open up next to you
and my secrets become your truth
and the distance between
that was sheltering me
comes in full view
hang my head, break my heart
built from all i have torn apart
and my burdens to bear
there is a love i can’t carry anymore
all i have, all i need
he’s the air i would kill to breathe
holds my love, his hands
still i’m searching for something
out of breath, i’m left
hoping someday
ill breathe again
oh it hurts to me
only wanted love from you
oh it hurts to be here
what am i gonna do
all i have, all i need
he’s the air i would kill to breathe
holds my love in his hands
and still i’m searching
all i have, all i need
he’s the air i would kill to breathe
holds my love in his hands
but still i’m searching for something
out of breathe i’m left hoping someday
i’ll breathe again
i never meant to be the one to let you down
if anything i thought i saw myself going first
i didn’t know how to stick around
how to see anybody but me getting hurt
i keep remembering the summer night
and the conversation breaking up the mood
i didn’t wanna tell you you were right
like the season changing, oh i felt it too
does anybody know
how to hold my heart?
how to hold my heart?
cause i don’t want to let go, let go, let go too soon
i wanna tell you so
before the sun goes dark
how to hold my heart
cause i don’t want to let go, let go, let go of you
i’m not the kind to try to tell you lies
but the truth is you’ve been hiding from it too
i see the end sneaking in behind your eyes
saying everything no words could ever do
is anybody listening?
cause i’m crying out
is anybody listening?
