I know what you're doing, I see it all to clear
                /                         /
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears.
                                     
You really had me going, wishing on a star.
                    /                       /
The black holes that surround you are heavier by far,
                                                    
I believed in your confusion, you're so completely torn.
                      /                            /
It must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born.

There's not much to examine, nothing left to hide.
                   /                      /
You really can't be serious, to have to ask me why
       /
I say goodbye...


 
Chorus:

                   /

'Cause I am barely breathing, I can't find the air,
                                         /
I don't know who I'm kidding imagining you care;
                                                 
And I could stand here waiting, a fool for another day;
                     
I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
     /
The price that I would pay yeah, yeah yeah. 




                                     
Everyone keeps asking, "what's it all about?"
               /                       /
I used to be so certain, now I can't figure out.
                                            
What is this attraction, it's only filled by pain?
                       /                   /
There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame,
              /
Will it ever change?
 
	(Repeat Chorus)


                     C9    G9                 Am   FM9/C----
But, I'm thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...

I've come to find,  I may never know
                 Gm13
Your changing mind,    is it friend or foe? 


                    Gm13     /

I rise above   or sink below
             Gm13
With every time    you come and go
                       / (pause)
Please, don't come and go...
