Oxygen

I learned how to breathe in pieces Counting seconds in the dark Every room still feels like it's yours Even when you're not here anymore I don't miss you in the daylight I miss you when the air gets thin When the silence presses on my chest And my pulse won't let me rest You were oxygen in my lungs Now every breath feels wrong I inhale but it still burns Like my body never learned How to live without the fire How to function without desire If love is air, then I'm undone You were oxygen I don't need your voice anymore But I still hear it when I fall asleep Funny how the mind protects What the heart can't keep I burned the mask to free myself Thought I'd finally feel alive But without you in the smoke I don't know how to survive I can't escape it your still in my head Every breathe I take brings back what you said Act like I'm fine, but I'm barely ok Without you here I don't know how to stay You were oxygen in my lungs Now every breath feels wrong I inhale but it still burns Like my body never learned How to live without the fire How to function without desire If love is air, then I'm undone You were oxygen You were oxygen in my lungs Now every breath feels wrong I'm alive but barely breathing Living doesn't mean I'm healing How to live without the fire How to function without desire If love is air, then I'm undone You were oxygen Nooooow Now watch me choke,bleah No apologies Now you're just hurting me Aaaaaahh Why am I holding on to you Like you're my oxygen
