Cauterize – Still Breathing lyrics

Tear me open at the seams.
Take everything you need.
Take my heart if you like the beat,
Take my lungs if it's hard to breathe, to breathe.

"I'm not cold," she said,
But she's shaking as she's lying next to me naked.
Pulled the hair back from her face to let that smile heat this place.
And this feels so far from real.
I'm lost and I love it.

I can't take it, if you're waiting.
I am ready to tell the world about a girl
Who showed me love again for the first time.
And it's everything I dreamed of.

Tell me what you thought about when you were breathing oh so loud,
Screaming oh so loud.
Tell me if this is real.
I need to know before I get too close.

So here we lie in this beautiful mess of tangled sheets and beads of sweat.
With my heart in your hand and my neck in the other,
Should I be scared or should I come closer?
But it's still beating and I'm still breathing.
You haven't hurt me yet.

I can't take it, if you're waiting.
I am ready to tell the world about a girl
Who showed me love again for the first time.
And it's everything I dreamed of.

Tell me what you thought about when you were breathing oh so loud,
Screaming oh so loud.
Tell me if this is real.
I need to know before I get too close.

Morning always comes too quick when you're around, when you're around.
You leave me lying here so they don't find us out, they'll find us out.
Tear me open at the seams, take everything you need.
Take my heart if you like the beat,
Take my lungs if it's hard to breathe.

I can't take it, if you're waiting.
I am ready to tell the world about a girl
Who showed me love again for the first time.
And it's everything I dreamed of.

I can't take it, if you're waiting.
I am ready to tell the world about a girl
Who showed me love again for the first time.
