Short of Breath

I never got tired of your holding hand I only got tired of trying to understand How I'm so different and grey I always wanted you to say That everything is okay—it's absolutely fine And you always did so, to give me peace of mind But I couldn't accept it, or believe That there was something good for me I want a love that is perfect all the time To be completely devoted, heart in my eye Surely, it should be easy and effortless But reality leaves me short of breath What we had was amazing, we were more than close You were the one that I trusted And who I cared for most—apart from me But our security faded away Now there is nothing left to say I want a love that is perfect all the time To be completely devoted, heart in my eye Surely, it should be easy and effortless But reality leaves me short of breath I don't wanna wait It's filling up my brain I don't wanna wait It's filling up my brain I want a love that is perfect all the time To be completely devoted, heart in my eye Surely, it should be easy and effortless But reality leaves me so short of breath Short of breath 'Til I'm short of breath
