My Air

it's ten in the morning
or ten in the evening
or ten sometime in the afternoon
and forever's coming so soon..

the days and the hours
the minutes and seconds
the weeks into months into years-
i'm forced to face all my fears..

cuz i'm leaving
i'm going away
learning day by day
how to be
how to live
how to breathe
without you-
hard as it may seem,
i'm so scared
unprepared
and breathing without
the air.

there's bricks at my ankles
there's chains at my wrists
i'm not bothering to remove-
independence is not so smooth.

my heart keeps on racing
my feet keep on pacing
oh i wish i knew your thoughts
are you like me, do you feel caught?

cuz i'm leaving
i'm going away
learning day by day
how to be
how to live
how to breathe
without you-
hard as it may seem,
i'm so scared
unprepared
and breathing without
the air.

it's so hard to say goodbye
i don't wanna try
to let you go
even if it's for a month or so
cuz i know you know..

i'm leaving
i'm going away
learning day by day
how to be
how to live
how to breathe
without you-
hard as it may seem,
i'm so scared
unprepared
and breathing without
you there
is like breathing without
the air.
