Hold Your Breath

She walked out into the city streets

He watched her slide from view

As the knot in his stomach began to tell his head

What his heart already knew

She'd been late home every night from work

for the past month maybe two

And she looked so alive yeah and she hardly ever frowned

the way she used to do

And he knows she won't be home, but he'll still wait by the door

And there's only so long you can hold your breath for

He walked out into the city streets

She watched him dissapear

And the scars on her wrist mirrored the ones on his heart

That she'd put there over all these years

And she had spent three hours doing her hair

the first date that they had had

And now she tries to explain herself again and again

but he just doesn't know he doesn't understan

And he knows she won't be home, but he'll still wait by the door

And there's only so long you can hold your breath before your

body starts to fail you and you have to breathe again

because you always will move on and if you don't then it's the end, oh hell yes
