Languishing (The Interlude)
Mariah Carey · Other Songs - Mariah Carey
That I was not put here for you
To judge me and dispute my inner most truth
And after all these years of enmity, envy and tears
It's a shame you don't know me at all
I was wondering
Would you cry for me?
If I told you that I couldn't breathe
If I was drowning, suffocating
If I told you that I couldn't breathe
Those ancient buried recollections
We transform them and select them
You have yours, I have mine
That's fine
While we're too torn to heal
Our stitch has never disappeared
I have mine, you have yours
I'm sure
I was wondering
Would you reach for me
If you saw that I was languishing
I was wondering would you cry for me
If I told you that I couldn't breathe
If I was drowning, suffocating
If I told you that I couldn't breathe
