Languishing (The Interlude) Lyrics
[Intro]
Da-da-da, da-da
Ooh
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
If you could only see
That I was not put here for you
To judge me and dispute my in most truth
[Verse 2]
And after all these years of enmity, envy and tears
It's a shame you don't know me at all
[Chorus]
I was wondering, would you cry for me
If I told you that I couldn't breathe
If I was drowning, suffocating
If I told you that I couldn't breathe?
[Verse 3]
Those ageless buried recollections
We transform them and select them
You have yours, I have mine, that's fine
[Verse 4]
Why are we too torn to heal?
Our stitches never disappear
I have mine, you have yours, I'm sure
[Pre-Chorus]
I was wondering (I was wondering)
Would you reach for me
If you saw that I was languishing?
[Chorus]
Oh, I was wondering, would you cry for me
If I told you that I couldn't breathe
If I was drowning, suffocating
If I told you that I couldn't breathe?
