Waiting to Breathe

(Mia Zepeda)
2007
I'm trying hard
but it's not as easy for me
as it seems to be for you
I'm not suggesting anything radical
but babe maybe we just need a sabbatical
till you make up your mind

Here I am, this is all of me
I'm holding my breath
till you take it or leave
If you don't want what you see
you better let me know
'cause I'm standing here
waiting to breathe

I always thought you'd end up being more than fuel
for just another one of my angry songs
you've been in my shoes before
so don't be a jackass
just 'cause you're not in them anymore

Here I am, this is all of me
I'm holding my breathe
till you take it or leave
If you don't want what you see
you better lett me know
'cause I'm standing here
waiting to breathe

It's not that I'm trying
to put you on the spot
It's just that I need to know
(before I suffocate)
whether you want to do this or not

I guess it might be
a little bit late to say "I love you"
'cause it doesn't look like you reciprocate
I know you think I'm crazy
but please take me serious
I swear that I'm not delirious
this time
Well, ok, maybe last time,
but I swear not this time

Here I am this is all of me
I'm holding my breath
till you take it or leave
If you don't want what you see
you better let me go
because I'm standing here
waiting to breathe
