I Knew I Shouldn't Have Held My Breath

I'm on my way back down where we'd lay to rest and waste the days away
 Can you believe she was just seventeen as you held her hair and prayed
 The hardest part of playing these cards is to
 Pretending not to care when you dont
 While I'm away know that nothing will change
 And I'll return to the foot of your thrown
 When it seems like one in a million
 It feels like somethings been missing here
 It seems like a change for a ruin
 Seems like the perfect solutions near
 I knew I shouldn't have held my breath
 So to bed to wait on my own crippled fate, on the fire escape you
 Wept and said you'd rather forget all the days I held so
 Dear in mind but hearts mend in time so close your eyes
 To speak, my sweet, your melodies will always ring in my ear.
 So keep singing though the phones never ringing again
 It seems like i might be on my way home again
 But it feels like I might be just chasing my own tail again
 I knew I shouldn't have held my breath
