She's Almost Leaving(from Twisted)

Folder: 
Twisted Branches

i watch her sleeping

i never can myself

if i blink and she's gone

i'll cut out my eyes

so i can pretend

she's here again

till i don't hear a sound

then i'll go deaf

and i'll go numb

so i won't feel a thing

i never feel at peace

but at least i feel her near



upstream the breeze through the curtains

she's barely breathing

she wants out so badly for heaven

she's almost leaving



i watch her dreaming

she never smiles

at me like these hours

and i don't make a sound

and i can pretend

i'm there with her

like i don't hear a word

of what she whispers

and i like to think

that she won't face no harm

where ever she's at peace

have a use when i'm sitting near



upstream the breeze through the curtains

she's barely breathing

she wants out so badly for heaven

she's almost leaving



upstream the breeze through the curtains

she's barely breathing(i know i don't have enough to give)

she wants out so badly for heaven

she's almost leaving(you've given me another reason to live, they've been running out)



i always knew someday she would  but i couldn't let go(i never kept you there)

still she slipped between my fingers   out the window(you couldn't bare to break my heart)

off the ledge one evening  with all hopes exhausted(i know what kept you there)

while i was sunk in my chair  finally sleeping((i couldn't bare to miss your heart..beat)



she floated away

a free fall escape

a parashoot in my face

suffocating



now under the breeze through the curtains

i'm barely breathing

i want out so badly for heaven

i'm almost leaving



under the breeze through the curtains

she's heavy breathing(i know i didn't have enough to give)

she wanted so badly for heaven

now she's always in it(you've gotten another reason to live, they'd been running out)
