R.E.M. - Try Not To Breathe Lyrics

Send "Try Not To Breathe" Ringtone to Cell Phone

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
