would it kill you to breathe?

Thick as Thieves -- Dashboard Confessional

Would it kill you to breathe?
Easy only 17 miles lay between you and me
I could make it if I had to
I don't break easily
You've got my counsel, thick as thieves
If there's a crime we'll keep it secret
For there's only trace amounts left in your blood
You may be a sinner
But you may be justified

Just keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right

Will it kill me to breathe
Not as easy as you think it is between you and me
I could fake it if I have to
I don't break easily
I need your counsel, thick as thieves
I have no crime to keep a secret
It was hers, it was not mine
Well I may be a sinner
But it wasn't me this time

Just keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right

Listen to yourself
There is a hemorrhage in your mouth
It won't stop bleeding
Well you may be the traitor
I will hold the smoking gun
You'll get away clean
I'll keep your secrets til the grave has swallowed me
And I will never tell a tortured soul they are burning by my side
That I am a sinner
I am a savior
I am a lie

So keep your mouth shut
Keep your guard up
I swear I'll make it right

The best thing about tonight is that we're not fighting,
Could it be that we have been this way before?
I know you don't think that I am trying,
I know you're wearing thin down to the core.

Hold your breath...
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you,
Over again, don't make me change my mind.
I won't live to see another day, I swear it's true,
Because a girl like you is impossible to find,
You're impossible to find.

This is not what I intended,
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart.
You always thought that I was stronger,
I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start.

But hold your breath,
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you -
Over again, don't make me change my mind.
Or I wont live to see another day, I swear it's true,
Because a girl like you is impossible to find.
It's impossible -

So breathe in so deep, breathe me in,
I'm yours to keep - and hold onto your words,
'cause talk is cheap -
And remember me tonight when you're asleep.

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you -
Over again, don't make me change my mind.
Or I wont live to see another day, I swear it's true,
Because a girl like you is impossible to find.

Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you -
Over again, don't make me change my mind,
Or I wont live to see another day, I swear it's true.
Because a girl like you is impossible to find,
You're impossible to find.
