If you could only see 

That I was not put here for you 

To judge me and dispute my inner most truth 



And after all these years of enmity, envy and tears 

It's a shame you don't know me at all 



I was wondering 

Would you cry for me? 

If I told you that I couldn't breathe 

If I was drowning, suffocating 

If I told you that I couldn't breathe 



Those ancient buried recollections 

We transform them and select them 

You have yours, I have mine 

That's fine 

While we're too torn to heal 

Our stitch has never disappeared 

I have mine, you have yours 

I'm sure 



I was wondering 

Would you reach for me 

If you saw that I was languishing 

I was wondering would you cry for me 

If I told you that I couldn't breathe 

If I was drowning, suffocating 

If I told you that I couldn't breathe
