"A Thousand Years" lyrics

"A Thousand Years"

I'm saving all I'm not giving
But it's overflowing evaporating in the air
As I'm walking and no I'm not breathing
I'm not breathing only air

'Cause it's filled with words once spoken
By people everywhere
And I can hear all the whispers
That have lived a thousand years

It just took me being open
For them to reach my eager ears
Now they've reached my eager fears

And I hope I'll be ready when my life
When my life divides
When my life divides
