"Can't Breathe" lyrics

Can't breathe, can't sleep
And words are too big for my head
Some words shouldn't even be said

His eyes, his speech
Still rolling around in my bed
Like a ghost waking up from the dead

And it's hard to let go
And it's hard not to show
The fumbling beat of a heart
Repeating itself in the dark

Still laugh, still dream
And bursting apart at the seam
Of whatever I hoped it would be

Little bird on the wire
Little bird from the fire
I'm circling back, where you are
Repeating, no matter how far

Then time speaks
Through the shuffling feet
And the cold heat and the soul

Can't breathe, can't sleep
And words are too big for my head
Some words they should never be said

And it's hard to let go
And it's hard not to show
The fumbling beat of a heart
Repeating itself in the dark

Oh, and heart is what you can't give
But you just did, don't you know?

Can't breathe, can't sleep
And words are too big for my head
Some words they should never be said

And it's hard to let go
And it's hard not to show
The fumbling beat of a heart
Repeating itself in the dark
