2. Try Not to Breathe [1992, Automatic for the People]
I will try not to breathe I can hold my head still with my hands at my knees These eyes are the eyes of the old, shivering and bold
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, oh
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, oh (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, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh
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, oh (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? (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
