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
