"Barely Breathing" lyrics

"Barely Breathing"

Now you're leaving
I'm the one who's bleeding
Cut out a piece of me
And now I'm barely breathing

It was all a game to you
And I'm the one who played the fool
I let you feed me to your demons
And nothing that I say or do
Will ever be enough for you
So fuck my feelings, I don't need them

You were my heroin
You used to get me high
But all you cared about was selling me a lie
You used to lift me up
You always used to pick me up
But now you wanna give me up and bury me alive

Now you're leaving
I'm the one who's bleeding
Cut out a piece of me
And now I'm barely breathing
Give me a reason
You're silent when I'm screaming
You took a piece of me
And now I'm barely breathing
I'm barely breathing
I'm barely breathing

I wish I would've known the truth
'Cause I'd have run away from you
You sold a lie, and I believed it
And everything you put me through
Is gonna come back to you
And if it kills you, then we're even

You were my world when my head was in the stars
But then you burned me out and left me in the dark
You used to lift me up
You always used to pick me up
And now you wanna give me up
It's tearing me apart

Now you're leaving
I'm the one who's bleeding
Cut out a piece of me
And now I'm barely breathing
Give me a reason
You're silent when I'm screaming
You took a piece of me
And now I'm barely breathing

Take me back to what we had
Just take me back 'cause I'm barely breathing
Take me back to what we had
Just take me back

Now you're leaving
I'm the one who's bleeding
Cut out a piece of me
And now I'm barely breathing
Give me a reason
You're silent when I'm screaming
You took a piece of me
And now I'm barely breathing
I'm barely breathing
I'm barely breathing

So take me back
To what we had
Just take me back
I'm barely breathing
