I breathe easy when you're away
That's how I want it to stay
I know if you come back
I'll slowly waste and fade to black
You shut out my light
Cover my mouth, drown me in night
Strip off my name and who I am
To you I'm fearful to stand
You coax me up to tear me down
Not a single soul hears a sound
I know if you come back
I'll slowly waste and fade to black
