Duncan Sheik - Barely Breathing (with lyrics)

Duncan Sheik - Barely Breathing (with lyrics)




I know what you're doing
I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline
When I kiss away your tears
You really had me going
Wishing on a star
But the black holes that surround you
Are heavier by far

I believed in your confusion
You were so completely torn
It must have been that yesterday
Was the day that I was born
There's not much to examine
Nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious
If you have to ask me why I say goodbye

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
Worth the price
The price that I would pay

Everyone keeps asking
"What's it all about?"
I used to be so certain
Now I can't figure out
What is this attraction?
I only feel the pain
There's nothing left to reason
And only you to blame
Will it ever change?

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
Worth the price
The price that I would pay
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway

I come to find
I may never know
Your changing mind
Is it friend or foe?
I rise above
Or sink below
With every time
You come and go
Please don't
Come and go

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
Worth the price
The price that I would pay
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway

I know what you're doing
I see it all too clear...

i feel so old when people come here and commenting "glee brought me here" i mean, this song was so famous when i was growing up.. -_-

Guys, stop talking about Glee. I mean I am a hardcore Gleek, but this is Duncan's song and his video. If you want to talk about Glee, then go to a Glee video. If you like Glee then good for you, if you don't then good for you. It's your opinion, don't try to change it just because you might not like it. They're both great singers, why compare the two? & btw, I did hear this song before Glee covered it; I personally think they're both amazing in their own ways.

Let`s face it..people mostly abhor someone mentioning which program introduces us to any song..Though in my opinion we should appreciate people`s thought..I agree that GLEE is kinda gay which is a big reason why Malaysia National TV disallows such program but the songs performed are mostly great..

[Linnea Newcomb]

I agree. I was in first grade when this came out, years before Glee was even a thought in someone's mind.

i dont understand why people feel the need to tell others what brought them to a song

[MrSimplejack09]

I WOULD NEVER WATCH GLEE BUT THEN I AM FROM THE 90S GRUNGE AND WE DON'T WATCH SUCH GAY SHIT

[Chem1kill]

Amen i remember this when i was growing up and it still sticks with me, ya know what brought me here? not glee but the fact my childhood was surrounded by this song, i love it thats what brought me here the passion in the song the raw emotion and the relation i can compare to this song, thats what brought me here Duncan shiek is by far one of the best ballad writters. Glee? pSSH! ha! read a book Youth of America and everywhere else learn some HISTORY! im sure there is an app for that

lol i know right?! jesus christ, this song was one of my favorites playing on the radio as my mom drove me to school. glee?! jesus christ glee wasn't a twinkle in anybody's eyes when this song came out. my god, i'm an old man. fuck all of you young people. just....fuck you all to hell.

[thetrollnigga]

This song brings back many unwanted feelings..Still a brilliant one though

[Cee C]

Just close your eyes and let it take you back :)

[Cee C]

Is it just me or is Glee doing a lot of late 90's early 2000 songs? Well, I guess you would have to if you want to sing good music!

[MrDjtatt]

everyone knows this song is still the shit with glee or not....
