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)
