Lyrics
Short of Breath
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.
I never got tired of your holding hand
I only got tired of trying to understand
How I’m so different and grey
I always wanted you to say
That everything is okay — it’s absolutely fine
And you always did so, to give me peace of mind
But I couldn’t accept it, or believe
That there was something good for me
I want a love that is perfect all the time
To be completely devoted, heart in my eye
Surely, it should be easy and effortless
But reality leaves me short of breath
What we had was amazing, we were more than close
You were the one that I trusted
And who I cared for most — apart from me
But our security faded away
Now there is nothing left to say
I want a love that is perfect all the time
To be completely devoted, heart in my eye
Surely, it should be easy and effortless
But reality leaves me short of breath
