lyrics

I’m having trouble breathing
I swear this air’s got no oxygen
But it’s thick with the stink of a hundred cigarettes
And I think that I’ll be better off if I just hold my breath
So I hold my breath, hold my tongue, much too much, for no one
For no reason other than I’m terrified of being wrong
No I don’t trust the air in here
And I’m sick with the smell of a thousand dying ideas
We used to breathe underwater
Did we ever care for each other?

Tell me I’m real
Tell me I’m good
Tell me I’ll never ever be misunderstood

I’m not having trouble sleeping in
I think I’ll sleep through the second coming
It’s better on TV, even better in my head
And I think that I’ll be better off if I just stay in bed
And if there’s a god then I’m her biggest joke
And if there’s not then it’s just poor dumb luck
We used to breathe underwater
Did we ever care for each other?

Tell me I’m real
Tell me I’m good
Tell me I’ll never ever be misunderstood
I know I’m weak
Tell me I’m strong
Because you know that I’ve been faking all along

Sometimes I feel like I am hanging by a thread
I made all the right decisions and I turned them on their head
Sometimes I wish that I could do it all again
I’d get a perfect body and I’d have the perfect plan

Tell me I’m real
Tell me I’m good
Tell me I’ll never ever be misunderstood
I know I’m weak
Tell me I’m strong
Because you know that I’ve been faking all along
