Hold My Breath

ORORA (오로라)

When you see me in my silence

When I’m alone in the dark

Would you still say you love my soul

And swear that I’m still beautiful?

 

When you see all the hidden scars

And nights I’ve cried through the dawn

Would you still see me the same way

And stay through the breaking dawn

 

Save your heart, don’t let it burn

No, let it fade, keep the fairy tale

At night, I fall to my knees

And I—

 

Pray that someday I’ll find someone

Who sees me for just who I am inside

Pray that someday I’ll find a place

Where I can breathe and finally feel alive

But I know my heart has

Never belonged to someone else

So I—

Hold my breath

 

They said my childhood’s beautiful

Dreamlike, wrapped in golden light

Would I be less alone today

If I had seen it through their eyes

 

They said I’ve done so many things

That my life is a work of art

But all I did was try to find

The pieces of me that fell apart

 

Save your heart, don’t let it burn

No, let it fade, keep the fairy tale

At night, I fall to my knees

And I—

 

Pray that someday I’ll find someone

Who sees me for just who I am inside

Pray that someday I’ll find a place

Where I can breathe and finally feel alive

But I know my heart has

Never belonged to someone else

So I—

Hold my breath

 

I fear for my heart

I fear for my heart

It all comes from my fear

And my fear is my fortress

 

Pray that someday I’ll find someone

Who sees me for just who I am inside

Pray that someday I’ll find a place

Where I can breathe and finally feel alive

But I know my heart has

Never belonged to someone else

So I—

Hold my breath

 

When you see me in my silence

When I’m alone in the dark
