Anne Heaton Breathing My Breath Lyrics

You crawl into the spaces inside me
And lay down your lazy head
You're so casual
As you breathe all of my breath

Gentle as a murderer
You look at me with those eyes

You believe all the lies ever told
In anecdotes
You side with the jealous ones
I don't know why
Even though you have the spark they're jealous of

Gentle as a murderer
You look at me with those eyes

I don't hate you Only you can make you
And I've been choking
Hoping you're just joking
I'm waiting for the punch line
Waiting for you to say: "I'm so sorry I stole your air"

You're like a trick mirror
When I look close I see only black
It's only love
You can keep it or give it back

Gentle is my murderer
Who looks at me with those eyes
Maybe I don't mind if he takes what was mine
