R.e.m. Try Not To Breathe

I will try not to breathe

I can hold my head still with my hands at my knees

These are the eyes of the old, shiver and fold

I will try not to breathe

This decision is mine, I have lived a full life

And these are the eyes that I want you to remember

I need something to fly over my grave again

I need something to breathe

I will try not to burden you, I can hold these inside

I will hold my breath until all these shivers subside

Just look in my eyes

I will try not to worry you

I have seen things that you will never see

Leave it to memory me, I shudder to breathe

I want you to remember (You will never see)

I need something to fly (something to fly)

Over my grave again (You will never see)

I need something to breathe (something to breathe)

Baby, don't shiver now

Why do you shiver now? (I will see things you will never see)

I need something to fly (something to fly)

Over my grave again (I will see things you will never see)

I need something to breathe

I will try not to worry you

I have seen things that you will never see

Leave it to memory me, don't dare me to breathe

I want you to remember (You will never see)

I need something to fly (something to fly)

Over my grave again (You will never see)

I need something to breathe (something to breathe)

Baby, don't shiver now

Why do you shiver now? (I will see things you will never see)

I need something to breathe (something to breathe)

(I have seen things you will never see)

I want you to remember
