Holding My Breath

I'd like to think I'd love you like you needed I'd like to know more of who you are Don't want to deny my appreciation But I could learn to love you from afar Should have known we'd meet with this confusion Unsure of exactly what we're meant to be But I'd be taking so much else for grated If I was to fancy myself free If you know me, won't you show me A little mercy while I'm unsure You could take me and you'd break me And everything I've built with her Oh the lies, the lies, they would take me to my death So won't you let this moment pass That I've been holding my breath You know things would be different altogether It's killing me to let it slip on by But a woman like you deserves so much better Than be loved in the shadow of a lie Don't care to protect my reputation Hurting you or her is hurting me So don't cling to what you think we could have been Go on now girl and be free If you know me, won't you show me A little mercy while I'm unsure You could take me and you'd break me And everything I've built with her Oh the lies, the lies, they would take me to my death So won't you let this moment pass That I've been holding my breath Cuz I've been holding my breath Cuz I've been holding on If you know me, won't you show me A little mercy while I'm unsure You could take me and you'd break me And everything I've built with her Oh the lies, the lies, they would take me to my death So won't you let this moment pass That I've been holding my breath Cuz I've been holding my breath Cuz I've been holding on Cuz I've been holding my breath Cuz I've been holding on Cuz I've been holding my breath Cuz I've been holding on
