[Intro]
I’m not myself, most of the time, I’m somewhere else
I’m not much help
You see, my shell, it keeps me safe from what’s outside
Or was it inside?

[Verse 1]
A memory is something small
That hurts a lot when you recall it, so I don’t
What were you saying?
The person I’m supposed to be
Covered in fog, I cannot see
So why can you? What did I miss?

[Pre-Chorus]
If you need me, you can find me

[Chorus]
Holding my breath in the dark
‘Cause it’s the only way I can see
Wait ’til I’m falling apart
Trying to work out where the pieces go
I’m afraid of the heart
‘Cause it’s the one place she won’t leave
Holding my breath in the dark
So I can remember how to breathe

[Verse 2]
When it’s quiet, sometimes I can still hear her voice
Under the noise
Goodbye is the hardest word to hold inside your head
Can I forget it?
Back when “we” was still a word for you and me
But now I’m falling on my own
Where did you go?
A part of me buried deep under the tiles in the floor
Where I can’t see it, where no one sees it

[Refrain]
Ignorance is sweeter, I’ll be
Comfortable in shadow
In the quiet places that nobody else can see
I’ll find a memory
Because when everything is empty
Maybe then I finally can see what’s in front of me
Until then, I’ll be

[Chorus]
Holding my breath in the dark
‘Cause it’s the only way I can see
Wait ’til I’m falling apart
Trying to work out where the pieces go
I’m afraid of the heart
‘Cause it’s the one place she won’t leave
Holding my breath in the dark
So I can remember how to breathe
Holding my breath in the dark (If you need me)
‘Cause it’s the only way I can see (You can find me)
Wait ’til I’m falling apart ((??))
Trying to work out where the pieces go ((??))
I’m afraid of the heart ((??))
‘Cause it’s the one place she won’t leave ((??))
Holding my breath in the dark (Holding my breath)
So I can remember how to breathe (Just so I can)
