I Don't Know How I Survive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Listen to the ringing in your ears
The scrambled voices of your fears
Whispering, whispering
Listen to the sound of your heart beat
Growing louder gaining speed
You’re breathing out, breathing in
These nights I don’t know how I survive
Pacing across the room while she’s asleep
Tears raining down your cheeks
Trying to hold, trying to hold on
Praying even though you don’t believe
Just in case they are received
By anyone, anyone
These nights I don’t know how I survive
Listen to the ringing in your ears
The scrambled voices of your fears
Whispering, whispering
