Hold My Breath

When you see me in my silence
When I’m alone in the dark
Would you still say you love my soul
And swear that I’m still beautiful?
When you see all the hidden scars
And nights I’ve cried through the dawn
Would you still see me the same way
And stay through the breaking dawn
Save your heart, don’t let it burn
No, let it fade, keep the fairy tale
At night, I fall to my knees
And I—
Pray that someday I’ll find someone
Who sees me for just who I am inside
Pray that someday I’ll find a place
Where I can breathe and finally feel alive
But I know my heart has
Never belonged to someone else
So I—
Hold my breath
They said my childhood’s beautiful
Dreamlike, wrapped in golden light
Would I be less alone today
If I had seen it through their eyes
They said I’ve done so many things
That my life is a work of art
But all I did was try to find
The pieces of me that fell apart
Save your heart, don’t let it burn
No, let it fade, keep the fairy tale
At night, I fall to my knees
And I—
Pray that someday I’ll find someone
Who sees me for just who I am inside
Pray that someday I’ll find a place
Where I can breathe and finally feel alive
But I know my heart has
Never belonged to someone else
So I—
Hold my breath
I fear for my heart
I fear for my heart
It all comes from my fear
And my fear is my fortress
Pray that someday I’ll find someone
Who sees me for just who I am inside
Pray that someday I’ll find a place
Where I can breathe and finally feel alive
But I know my heart has
Never belonged to someone else
So I—
Hold my breath
When you see me in my silence
When I’m alone in the dark
