  • Breathe you out
    Breathe you in
    You keep coming back to tell me
    You're the one who could have been
    And my eyes see it all so clear
    It was long ago and far away but it never disappears
    I try to put it in the past
    Hold on to myself and don't look back

    I don't wanna dream about
    All the things that never were
    Maybe I can live without
    When I'm out from under
    I don't wanna feel the pain
    What good would it do me now
    I'll get it all figured out
    When I'm out from under
    (From under, from under, from under, from under)

    So let me go
    Just let me fly away
    Let me feel the space between us growing deeper
    And much darker every day
    Watch me now and I'll be someone new
    My heart will be unbroken
    It will open up for everyone but you
    Even when I cross the line
    It's like a lie I've told a thousand times

    I don't wanna dream about
    All the things that never were
    Maybe I can live without
    When I'm out from under
    I don't wanna feel the pain
    What good would it do me now
    I'll get it all figured out
    When I'm out from under
    (From under, from under, from under, from under)

    And part of me still believes
    When you say you're gonna stick around
    And part of me still believes
    We can find a way to work it out
    But I know that we tried everything we could try
    So let's just say goodbye
    Forever

    I don't wanna dream about
    All the things that never were
    Maybe I can live without
    When I'm out from under
    I don't wanna feel the pain
    What good would it do me now
    I'll get it all figured out
    When I'm out from under
    (From under, from under, from under, from under)

    I don't wanna dream about
    All the things that never were
    Maybe I can live without
    When I'm out from under
    I don't wanna feel the pain
    What good would it do me now
    I'll get it all figured out
    When I'm out from under
    (From under, from under, from under, from under)

    From under, from under, from under, from under. Writer/s: ARNTHOR BIRISSON, SHELLY PEIKEN, WAYNE HECTOR
