Moira Dela Torre – Before It Sinks In Chords

Suspended in the air, I hear myself breathing.
Hanging by a thread, my heart is barely beating.

I haven’t fallen yet, but I feel it coming.
Tell me would it be too much to ask.
If you break it to me gently.

That I’m waking the next day, without you beside me.
And who I hold onto today.
Tomorrow will just be a memory.

That I will look back at all of this.
And wonder why I stayed in here.
Just to watch you disappear.

So I breathe and let you go.
How do I breathe and let you go?

Before it’s too late I’ll take a step away.
I know one word would make me go.
Rushing back to you.

So I’ll just shut my eyes, forget that you were mine.
How do you go from making one your home.
And then just letting it all go.
Let me take it in, before it sinks in.

Far beyond my reach, is the future you promised?
Now what I never even had, I have every reason to miss.

And I don’t know.
Where I could find the strength to let you go.
When the only life I’ve come to know.

Packed his bags and left me alone.
He found another home.

So before it’s too late, I’ll take a step away.
I know one word would make me go.
Rushing back to you.

And I’ll just shut my eyes, forget that you were mine.
How do you go from making one your home.
And then just letting it all go.
Let me take it in, before it sinks in.

Ohhh, go, ohhh, go…

Before it’s too late I’ll take a step away.
I know one word would make me go.
Rushing back to you.

I’ll just shut my eyes, forget that you were mine.
How do you go from making one your home.
And then just letting it all go.
Let me take it in, before it sinks in.
