Languishing (the interlude) - Mariah Carey

If you could only see

That I was not put here for you

To judge me and dispute my innermost 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?
