Lyrics - Try Not To Breathe by R.e.m.

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, shiver and fold.
I will try not to breathe.
This decision is mine.
I have lived a full lifeand 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 breathuntil 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.
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 now? (
I will see things you will never see)
I need something to breathe. (something to breathe -
I have seen thingsyou will never see)
I want you to remember.
