  • If you could only see
    That I was not put here for you
    To judge me and dispute my inner most truth

    And after all these years of enmity, envy and tears
    It's a shame you don't know me at all

    I was wondering
    Would you cry for me?
    If I told you that I couldn't breathe
    If I was drowning, suffocating
    If I told you that I couldn't breathe

    Those ancient buried recollections
    We transform them and select them
    You have yours, I have mine
    That's fine
    While we're too torn to heal
    Our stitch has never disappeared
    I have mine, you have yours
    I'm sure

    I was wondering
    Would you reach for me
    If you saw that I was languishing
    I was wondering would you cry for me
    If I told you that I couldn't breathe
    If I was drowning, suffocating
    If I told you that I couldn't breathe Writer/s: JAMES WRIGHT, WRITERS UNKNOWN
