I hear you breathing on the other end, of the phone
you want me to explain why im leaving you, on your own
i don't want, to tell you, that i'm dying, growing old
and i dont, want you to, know that im, better off alone
i just called to tell you that im leaving,dont stop breathing
i just want to hear you say that im dying, but you're ok
take me for, better in, sickness no, just in health
love honor, and obey, i dont think so, thats ok

Why cant you stay around just for a day
why cant i seem to find the words to say
this toast is given with two lovers left in mind
this ring is broken binding only for two years time
and i dont know how i feel about you now
want to know what you think of me
i dont care how hes doing now
just send him down ill pretend to see

Im writing to inform you, its all up to you
im not taking charge you're old enough, to know what to do
its the, responsibility, i hand down, to you
i cant stand, its killing, my pride shot, down by you
and here son heres the truth now, im afraid of you
you see son i dont know how, to strike fear in you
i raised you, too well a, spitting image, of me
passed anger, bad temper, no feeling, just like me

Why cant you stay around just for a day
why cant i seem to find the words to say
this toast is given with two lovers left in mind
this ring is broken binding only for two years time
and i dont know how i feel about you now
want to know what you think of me
i dont care how hes doing now
just send him down ill pretend to see

I hear you breathing on the other end, of the phone
i wonder why you're leaving me, on my own
i wish i, was the apple, of your eye, again
just for, a moment, i wish it was me, and not them
i hear you breathing
i hear you loud and clear
i hear you breathing
