"Lungs" lyrics

"Lungs"

How long till you leave it?
You should know that we're alone this time
Keep yourself a secret, you should know that
I will sell you a future you don't want
Like I did last time
I won't go slow
All the things you tell yourself
Offer no resolution

You know that this will break us
But you push as far as we can go
Taking every chance to find solutions
That never make anyone happy
We are done this time
You don't owe me
Take a final look at me
Take it, and drink it in

Breathe through me
Fill up your lungs with us
I will keep everything
You give me
Till the time
We let go

Breathe through me
Fill up your lungs with us
I will keep everything
You give me
Till the time
We let go

Keep me in your eyeline
Keep believing what you said before
I will change direction
I will tell you that everything's moving too slowly
Just another lie, one more untruth
You won't ever see through me
You will still drink it in

Breathe through me
Fill up your lungs with us
I will keep everything
You give me
Till the time
We let go

You know that this will break us
But you push as far as we can go
Taking every chance to find solutions
That never make anyone happy
We are done this time
You don't owe me
Take a final look at me
Take it
