Breathing Room lyrics

you always said that if i'm a star then you're a constellation
but the sky is burnt out and we're just going through emotions
you've got this mile wide smile that follows you and lights up rooms
i'm getting sick and tired of waiting in the dark

tell me you need some time alone
you need some room to breathe
and i'll be on my way
whenever you need some time alone
just tell me you need some time alone

and if you need to find me i'll be wandering the streets
dining alone at all our favorite places to eat
and drinking alone waiting for the phone to ring
i hope whatever's in this bottle leaves me brave enough to sleep

tell me you need some time alone
if you need some room to breathe
then i'll be on my way
whenever you need some time alone
just tell me you need some time alone

then i'll walk on and you'll just say
feelings fail and people change
we'll pretend that when we meet
we're better off as friends

[x2]
and if you say theres no way
then when you need me i'll be gone

lipstick smiles touched to parting lips
we'll be alright....
one last time, not unlike the last time
we'll be alright
