'Cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe Is there anyone out there? 'Cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe [Verse 2] What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head You should know better, you never listened to a word I said Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did [Chorus] But when it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love You'll understand what I mean when I say "There's no way we're gonna give up" (Yeah, yeah, yeah) And like a little girl cries in the face Of a monster that lives in her dreams She said, is there anyone out there? 'Cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe Is there anyone out there? 'Cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe [Bridge] And does it kill? Does it burn?

[Chorus] But when it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love You'll understand what I mean when I say "There's no way we're gonna give up" (Yeah, yeah, yeah) And like a little girl cries in the face Of a monster that lives in her dreams Is there anyone out there? 'Cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe Is there anyone out there? 'Cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe Is there anyone out there? 'Cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
