lyrics

When did the smile I knew so well
start to change
and when did the color in your eyes
start to fade, fade away

Holding my breath for something
anything to keep me upright
It's caught in my chest
but something tells me I'll be alright
if I try, just give me some time
oh I'll be alright

I see all our memories
as scenes on a movie screen
one I never thought I'd leave
I'm caught in the fading day
in words we could always say
we swore the time was ours to take

Holding my breath for something
anything to keep me upright
It's caught in my chest
but something tells me I'll be alright
if I try, just give me some time
oh I'll be alright

Though we're young
we still found something worth holding
and in the end I know you were always worth it
you were always worth it

Holding my breath for something, anything
It's caught in my chest 'til something tells me to breathe

Holding my breath for something
anything to keep me upright
It's caught in my chest
but something tells me I'll be alright
if I try, just give me some time
oh I'll be alright

I'm caught in the fading day
In words we could always say
