These are the eyes that grew too tired to hold open

Through what they've come to know as a constant burning glow

So when you said

"It never fades"

Well, I guess that you were right

But they're adjusting to the light now

And oh, so am I

I've never felt so afraid

To breathe in

'Cause I know the air won't be the same

But I'm doing it anyways

'Cause I won't pretend to spend a lifetime

Holding my breath
