Can't Breathe

Can't breathe, can't sleep And words are too big for my head Some words shouldn't even be said His eyes, his speech Still rolling around in my bed Like a ghost waking up from the dead And it's hard to let go And it's hard not to show The fumbling beat of a heart Repeating itself in the dark Still laugh, still dream And bursting apart at the seam Of whatever I hoped it would be Little bird on the wire Little bird from the fire I'm circling back, where you are Repeating, no matter how far Then time speaks Through the shuffling feet And the cold heat and the soul Can't breathe, can't sleep And words are too big for my head Some words they should never be said And it's hard to let go And it's hard not to show The fumbling beat of a heart Repeating itself in the dark Oh, and heart is what you can't give But you just did, don't you know? Can't breathe, can't sleep And words are too big for my head Some words they should never be said And it's hard to let go And it's hard not to show The fumbling beat of a heart Repeating itself in the dark
