Barely Breathing

Can't take your eyes off me

There's something you don't see

I am the one that you've been thinking of

You're tearing at the seems

But we'll make this right you see

I am the one that you've been dreaming of

If this is what you want from me

You'll have to try harder then that

I want to know just what you see

You must know I'm not like that

Do you think we have life easy

I have to set you straight

Our life is not as you think it is

I hope you can see clearly now

Don't waste your life trying to live someone else's

Can't take your eyes off me

There's something you don't see

I am the one that you've been thinking of

You're tearing at the seems

But we'll make this right you see

I am the one that you've been dreaming of

We're staring at each other in the face

When will you learn I'm not easy to replace

Just watch yourself I'm not the same anymore

I've been waiting for someone like you

To come along, so I can say

What you're thinking of me is all wrong

Well at least, most of it

I'm sad to say I'm not the one

You'll ever want me to be

Don't waste your life trying to live someone else's

Can't take your eyes off me

There's something you don't see

I am the one that you've been thinking of

You're tearing at the seems

But we'll make this right you see

I am the one that you've been dreaming of

You think you know just how this goes

Don't believe what you've been told

You tell the world we've got it all

But we're barely breathing

You know the truth but you tell the world

You tell the world we've got it all

But we're barely breathing

You know the truth but you tell the world

Can't take your eyes off me

There's something you don't see

I am the one that you've been thinking of
