[INTRO] [VERSE 1] Your fingertips, clutching at the bottom of my shirt On the balcony, we were sipping lukewarm soda pop Laughed so hard at nothing, 'til we drifted off to sleep In that moment, felt like we were the only two in the world The smell of humid air, before the evening summer rain Sharing tiny earbuds, listening to your favorite song again Everything, oh everything, feels just like yesterday It's all burned inside my mind, a scar that will not fade away [PRE-CHORUS] Is this my punishment for believing in forever and a day? This memory's supposed to fade, but it gets clearer anyway Tell me why, oh why, are you the only one who stayed? [CHORUS] I can hardly breathe, 'cause my whole world was you All those simple, silly days, were treasures, me and you Couldn't even say goodbye, the seasons pass me by Tell me why, oh why, do memories have to shine so bright? I can hardly breathe, I can still hear your voice inside Close my eyes and I can be, right there by your side in summer light Yeah my mind, it understands, that you are really gone But my heart is frozen there, and it can't move on [VERSE 2] That faded old T-shirt, the one you left behind I still can't bring myself to throw it out, it's lost in time Tracing lines across the screen, a chat I'll never open This city is too big for me, no hope for words unspoken A promise like "someday", is such a fragile thing I see Watching from the footbridge, a river of headlights beneath me On that shooting star we saw, what wish did we even make? The harder I try to recall, the more the image starts to break [PRE-CHORUS] Wishing I could turn back time, running from what's real Guess I'm still a foolish child, for everything I feel Tell me why, oh why, am I the only one still here? [CHORUS] I can hardly breathe, 'cause my whole world was you All those simple, silly days, were treasures, me and you Couldn't even say goodbye, the seasons pass me by Tell me why, oh why, do memories have to shine so bright? I can hardly breathe, I can still hear your voice inside Close my eyes and I can be, right there by your side in summer light Yeah my mind, it understands, that you are really gone But my heart is frozen there, and it can't move on [SAX SOLO] [CHORUS] I can hardly breathe... my everything was you... All those simple, silly days... they were my only treasure, it's true... Whispering "I love you" now... words that will never reach your ear... Just dissolve into the silence, and slowly disappear...
