I seem to be having trouble with my life support.
There seems to be a malfunction of some sort.
It's giving me way too much air (my lungs are about to burst!),
and I'm beginning to question if I need it anymore.
'Cause I remember when it started, your oxygen made me strong;
all I wanted to do was inhale you all day long.
I inhaled all the affection, I inhaled all the love
and I inhaled all the sorrow that I didn't really want.
And I wonder: Do I need you anymore
or could I start breathing on my own?
Yeah, I wonder: Do I need you anymore
or should I start breathing on my own?
'Cause I'm suffocating from all of this old bacteria,
and asphyxiation is certainly not how I want to die.
But I still haven't taken off the mask,
only for the fear that there might be some fresh air left in you.
Oh, what to do?
Oh, what to do?
Oh, what to do ...
Here's what I'm going to do:
I'll give you away to someone else who needs you more than me,
somebody who's really suffering
from all of the old symptoms that I've since recovered from --
because, as of now, you're just blackening my lungs.
I've discovered I don't need you anymore
and I can start breathing on my own.
Yeah, I've discovered I don't need you anymore
and I've started breathing on my own.
Yeah, I've discovered that I don't need you anymore!
I think it's better this way, and I've got a feeling you're feeling the same.
So let us part now before it's too late --
before you break and I asphyxiate.
