Lirieke: Stars Hide Fire. The Shortcut To Loss. Still Breathing.

Today ((these days))
I'm shattered ((I'm better))
I feel as if I don't matter much ((I don't want to feel))
is this the end of me?
and I've got ((I have))
this letter ((forever))
unread, I'm glad I never sent it ((this is all of me))
you know I'd rather write than speak

it's hard explaining when you're wrong
it's hard forgiving when you're strong

as I burn out and rot, as I burn out and rot
this fire's burning down these walls
this world's not meant for you and...

I'm still breathing
my lung's bleeding
I'm leaving now
do we always have to end like this?
I'm still breathing
air through collapsed lungs
through collapsed lungs

today ((today))
I'm stronger ((I'm bitter))
knowing that I don't belong to her ((I just want to feel))
took you to give me strength
and I use ((I have))
four letters ((forever))
to form words that help me to forget her ((for you to find me))
you know I only curse when I'm weak

as I burn out and rot, as I burn out and rot
this fire's burning down these walls
this world's not meant for you and...

I'm still breathing
my lung's bleeding
I'm leaving now
do we always have to end like this?
I'm still breathing
air through collapsed lungs
through collapsed lungs

as time runs out, as time runs out
as I burn out and rot, as I burn out and rot
as I burn out and rot, as I burn out and rot
as I burn out and rot, as I burn out

in the background -
((I'm still breathing
my lung's bleeding
I'm leaving now
Do we always have to end like this?))

and I'm still breathing without you
and I'm still bleeding without you

I'm still breathing
air through collapsed lungs
through collapsed lungs
cause I'm still breathing
and I'm still breathing without you
cause I'm still breathing
and I'm still yours
