Lyrics Don't Hold Your Breath (If I Ever Pay You Back) - Liz Phair

I don't have what it takes
To stay with you
And I'm leaving in under ten days
It's not what I'd planned

But anyway, you know
By and large, anywhere I go
I won't find anyone who loves me enough
To make you look bad

All the cars on the road
Are driving away from here
But I'm still looking under my nose
To see who I am

But anywhere I go
Standing at any kind of show
I won't find anyone who'll tell me
What I need to know
That's not how it's done

But anyway, you know
By and large, anywhere I go
I won't find anyone who loves me enough

If I ever pay you back
If my money and wallet's intact
I'll probably be in a box lying down
Loosely suited in black

If I ever pay you back
If my money and wallet's intact
I'll probably be in a box lying down
Loosely suited in black
Loosely suited in black
Loosely suited in black
