LYRICS:
i watched you breathe in
and i wished you'd stop
only for long enough... long enough
it's... hard... to... say...
serparate or combine
i ask you one last time
did i hold too tight
did i not let enough light in
oohh...
if a feeling appears
if your mind should sway
it's not a secret you should keep
i won't let you slip away
we used to be closer than this
we used to be closer than this
we used to get closer than this
is it something you miss
winged or chained
i ask you would you have stayed
did i hold you too tight
did i not let enough light in
oohh...
