The Way

Don't hold your breath if you should be breathing
Don't hold your tongue if something's worth speaking
Don't fall in love if you know that you're leaving
You can't help the way that you feel

Given the time I know it's my place
But still I see reason conquered by passion
You knew the deal but still had to have it
You can't help the way that you feel

And I tried to read you
And I tried to see through every word from your mouth
Caution falls slowly, and soon I'll be lonely
But I'd rather live without doubt

Timing my dear is not in our favor
Please don't you let that change your behavior
We'll work it out sooner or later
For now you should do what you feel

I tried to read you
And I tried to see through every word from your mouth
Caution falls slowly, and soon I'll be lonely
But I'd rather live without doubt

You came without warning and you took me away
It takes a fool to fight fate
I was unwilling to try, now the thought I embrace
Despite of my usual way

And I tried to read you
And I tried to see through every word from your mouth
Caution falls slowly, and soon I'll be lonely
But I'd rather live without doubt

And I tried to read you
I tried to see through every word from your mouth
And caution falls slowly, soon I'll be lonely
But I'd rather live without doubt

Don't hold your breath if you should be breathing
Don't hold your tongue if something's worth speaking
