The Air That You Breathe Lyrics - Nuno Bettencourt

I got a great big smile 

But I got rotten teeth 

My posture's kinda good 

From my knees to my feet 

And if I cut my hair 

Most people they won't stare 

But if people don't stare, 

Who will care, who will care 

I got me a tattoo, it makes me feel so tough 

If someone would fight me please 

God I need to be touched 

The closest that I get 

To ever feel your kiss 

I get to take a drag off a used cigarette 

Sometimes I think I'm better off dead 

But then if I'm dead, they'll bury my head 

If I can't use my lips, can't kiss the air 

Why kiss the air? 

(cause it's the air you breathe) 

Sometimes I wish I wish 

I wish that I was sick 

Cause then I would belong to a popular plauge 

Sometimes I wish I wish 

I wish that I was green 

I could fight for my rights, I would march standing tall 

All I wanted was you, all I wanted was you 

But you don't notice me 

You despise, you despise 

Sometimes I think I'm better off dead 

But then if I'm dead, they'll bury my head 

If I can't use my lips, can't kiss the air 

Why kiss the air? 

(cause it's the air you breathe) 

The closest that I get to ever feel your kiss 

I get to take a drag off a used cigarette 

All I wanted was you 

All I wanted was you 

But you don't notice me 

You despise, you despise 

If all you wanted was 

If all you wanted was life 

You would then recognize me
