Lyrics
Holding My Breath Music and Lyrics by: Aaron Weinzapfel
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
bridge
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
Repeat bridge
(Chorus)
Cuz I’ve been holding my breath
Cuz I’ve been holding on
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
