Trying (Failing) To Breath

 
"Your reasons to not love me suck."
   
So there, I said it    
But because I love you  
I won't say it    
My actions are silent    
My emotions are violent    
   
"I can't breath."    
but that's ok, I wont detest.    
Don't you worry about me    
I once won a no-breathing contest    
   
"I'll not breath for you"    
If this is what you want    
Even though I don't
So there, I said it    
I don't want it  
I hate all of it    

"Sacrifice."       
That's what love is anyways, right?  
I'd gladly roll the dice    
and take a bullet for you twice    
You don't want my life    
No, you have a different asking price    
   
"You took my lungs"  
I can't breath without my lungs   
No one can    
It's like speaking with no tongue    
So I guess I have no tongue or lungs    
I can't speak, all I can do is think    
And long for you, and long for air  
 
"You are air. "   
   
That's ok, "I'll do whatever YOU want" 
You take your stupid air    
You take you away from me    
You take whatever you want
   
You took you away from me  
When said you didn't want to love me    
You took my lungs with you    
Now my heart doesn't have anything to pump into    
It just beats for no reason    

"I need my lungs"   
My blood is so deoxygenated    
Everything is complicated    
Nothing feels full, everything is empty    
Nothing feels light, everything is heavy       

"Maybe when you bring my lungs back
You'll bring you back"
And I'll have air back
You need to come back

Because "Your reasons to not love me suck."
Because "I can't breath."
Because "I'll not breath for YOU."  
Because "Sacrifice"
Because "You are air. " 
Because "I'll do whatever you want"  
Because "I need my lungs" 
Because "Maybe when you bring my lungs back
You'll bring you back"

Perhaps, I'll be able to breath again
