[Verse 1]
Keep a picture of her smile I no longer see
There's a space in your bed now
Keep it warm for me
All the signs told you stop
But you would not stop
And my hands begged you stay
While my mouth said go
I know you've got your demons
But I've got my own
So I'll keep you at a distance
While I hold you close
You love is the only
Fix you need
Though I'm broken I'll still break you
Don't ask it of me
It's hard to breath
With these words in my mouth
With your lips on my own
I can't get them out
[Pre-Chorus]
You draw maps I [rightless?] redraw the space
Watch the lines of your lips erased retraced
Send my eyes held your gaze
When yours saw me out
Keep [a look locked away?]
Till it flickers out
[Chorus]
It's hard to breathe
With these words in my mouth
With your lips on my own
I can't get them out
And it's hard to breathe
With these words in my mouth
With your lips on my skin
I can't get them out
[Post-Chorus]
Sunday best and rouge your cheeks as
Lipstick left where lips have been
Our hearts step to a funeral beat
There's a cooling board where this bed should be
So lay me down and cover me, oh
Lay me down and cover me
Flesh for flesh and cheek to cheek, oh
Lay me down and cover me
[Chorus/Outro]
It's hard to breathe
(Sunday best and rouge your cheeks as)
With these words in my mouth
(Lipstick left where lips have been)
With your lips on my own
(Our hearts step to a funeral beat)
I can't get them out
(There's a cooling board where this bed should be)
It's hard to breathe
(Sunday best and rouge your cheeks as)
With these words in my mouth
(Lipstick left where lips have been)
With your lips on my own
(Our hearts step to a funeral beat)
I can't get them out
(To a funeral beat)
