Lyrics Bated Breath - Steve Augeri

With bated breath
And bended knee
I pray in earnest
She comes back to me

Without a word
Without a fight
I let her slip away into the night

Oh well I'm strong
But I'm not that strong
I pray the world loosens it's grip on me
Oh, and time tells
When all else has failed
I'll be waiting here with bated breath

With heavy heart
Upon my sleeve
Wear my emotions for the world to see

With each breath in
Won't let it out
Afraid it'd be the least of her around

Oh we both said what we had to say
Just as all lovers would do
Oh, and time tells
When all else has failed
I'll still be waiting here with bated breath

And oh for now
All that remains
Is frozen and framed
And now love's an illusion
There are no guarantees
For me

With bated breath
All hope aside
I leave to chance the chance love
Comes back to life

Oh well I'm strong
But I'm not that strong
I pray the world loosens it's grip on me
Oh and time tells
When all else has failed
I'll be waiting here with bated breath
I'll still be waiting here with bated breath
