Barely Living Songtext

Barely Living Songtext
Reading the signs
I don′t know what is mine
From the crumbs that you lay
In front of me
Holding me down
I don't know more than doubt
In my mind, as I dream these
Broken dreams
Here on the floor
I can see you so raw
With your hopes just
Deflating at your feet
Cos I hope you believe in me
You don′t know how much I care
But I can't waste my life away
For a crumb that you might spare
I'll give you my hand
You can take all you can
With the life blowing slowly
Out of me
Cos I know you believe in me
You just find it hard to say
But I won′t hold my breath for you
Just to throw a bone my way
Cos I believe in romance
I believe in trust
In truth
In dust
In me, in us
Cos I know you believe in me
So I′ll try and keep my head
And I see all we ought to be
Barely living, almost dead
Barely living, almost dead
Barely living, almost dead
I don′t know what is mine
From the crumbs that you lay
In front of me
Holding me down
I don't know more than doubt
In my mind, as I dream these
Broken dreams
Here on the floor
I can see you so raw
With your hopes just
Deflating at your feet
Cos I hope you believe in me
You don′t know how much I care
But I can't waste my life away
For a crumb that you might spare
I'll give you my hand
You can take all you can
With the life blowing slowly
Out of me
Cos I know you believe in me
You just find it hard to say
But I won′t hold my breath for you
Just to throw a bone my way
Cos I believe in romance
I believe in trust
In truth
In dust
In me, in us
Cos I know you believe in me
So I′ll try and keep my head
And I see all we ought to be
Barely living, almost dead
Barely living, almost dead
Barely living, almost dead
