Before It Sinks In

Suspended in the air
I hear myself breathing
Hanging by a thread
My heart is barely beating.

I haven't fallen yet
But I feel it comin'
Tell me would it be too much to ask
If you break it to me gently.

And I'm waking the next day
Without you beside me
And you hold on to the day
Tomorrow will just be a memory.

That I would look back at all of this
And wonder why I stayed in here
Just to watch you disappear.

So I breathe and let you go
How do I breathe and let you go?

Before it's too late
I'll take a step away
I know one word would make me go
Rushing back to you.

So I'll just shut my eyes
Forget that you were mine
How do you go from making one your home
And then just letting it all go.

Let me take it in
Before it sinks in.

I'll be on my knees
Is the future you promised
Know what I never even had
I have every reason to miss.

And I down away
I can't find the strength to let you go
When the ony love I've come to know.

Have this past and left me alone
You found another home.

So before it's too late
I'll take a step away
I know one word would make me go
Rushing back to you.

That I'll just shut my eyes
Forget that you were mine
How do you go from making one your home
And then just letting it all go.

Let me take it in
Before it sinks in.

(Ohhhhh...)
(Go...)
(Ohhhhh...)
(Go...)

Before it's too late
I'll take a step away
I know one word would make me go
Rushing back to you.

I'll just shut my eyes
Forget that you were mine
How do you go from making one your home
And then just letting it all go.

Let me take it in
Before it sinks in.
