Oxygen Thief I cherish the time we spend apart The breathing space without you Moments when I examine my heart For signs of stress or scar tissue I love it when you're nowhere near me My breathing is regular and clear You're pollen to me, a loving allergy I live for the time you're not here You're my negative ninja, my oxygen thief You steal my words and my thoughts and my days I can't get my breath, I can't get my breath I can't get my breath - cos you've taken it away I hate the time we spend together I can't breathe when I'm around you You say we're together forever But it's killing me being with you You're my amorous asthma, my oxygen thief You take my feelings, my heart and I pray Let me breathe out, God, let me breathe out Let me breathe out - don't take my breath away You're stealing the beat from my heart
