| Place: | William McKinley High School Hallway, The April Rhodes Civic Pavilion, The Choir Room, NYADA Classroom |
| Episode: | The Break-Up |
Barely Breathing by Duncan Sheik is featured in The Break Up, the fourth episode of Season Four. It is sung by Blaine and Finn.
At the start of the song, Blaine walks down the McKinley hallways after Kurt tells Blaine he's too busy to take anymore calls. Blaine, upset and infuriated, walks to the auditorium and begins singing. Before the song starts, Rachel suggests Finn go to her NYADA classes with her, to which he does. He watches Rachel and sings both during and after doing this. The scenes intercut as Blaine sings near a chair on the stage, turning around to see Kurt, an imagination from his mind, while Finn watches Rachel dance and learn at NYADA. Towards the end of the song, we see Blaine messaging someone on Facebook named Eli.C. The messages imply that he is going to cheat on Kurt. Meanwhile, Finn sits in a NYADA classroom, thinking about his relationship with Rachel.

Lyrics
Blaine:
I know what you’re doing,
I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline
When I kiss away your tears
Finn:
You really had me going,
Wishing on a star
But the black holes that surround you
Are heavier by far
Blaine:
I believed in your confusion,
You were so completely torn
It must have been that yesterday
Was the day that I was born
Finn:
There’s not much to examine,
There’s nothing left to hide
You really can’t be serious
If you have to ask me why
Finn and Blaine:
I say good-bye...
‘Cause I am barely breathing
And I can’t find the air
I don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don’t suppose it’s worth the price,
It's worth the price
The price that I would pay
Finn (with Blaine):
Everyone keeps asking, (what’s it all about?)
I used to be so certain (and I can’t figure out)
Blaine (with Finn):
What is this attraction? (I only feel the pain)
There’s nothing left to reason and only you to blame
Finn and Blaine:
Will it ever change?..
‘Cause I am barely breathing
And I can’t find the air
I don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don’t suppose it’s worth the price,
It's worth the price
The price that I would pay
Blaine (with Finn):
But I’m (thinking it over) anyway
Finn and Blaine:
I’m thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah... (Finn: Oooh)
I’ve come to find
I may never know
Finn:
Your changing mind
Blaine
Is it friend or foe?
Finn and Blaine:
I rise above
Or sink below
Finn:
Every time
Blaine
You come and go
Finn and Blaine:
Please don’t come and go
Oooh
‘Cause I am barely breathing
And I can’t find the air
I don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don’t suppose it’s worth the price,
Worth the price
The price that I would pay
Blaine (with Finn):
But I’m (thinking it over) anyway
Finn and Blaine:
I’m thinking it over anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Finn:
(Oooh)
I know what you're doing
Finn and Blaine:
I see it all too clear
