I Can'T Breathe
[Verse]
I'm just a used chrysalis who's butterfly has flown
empty as a vacuum and twice as freezing cold
Alone as a pendulum without a clock to grace
broken as the lines that crack a tortured face
[Pre Chorus]
Anguish is all I know right now
Despair that knows no depths
I'm so inconsolable
I can't catch my breath
[Chorus]
I can't breathe without your breath upon me
I can't breathe without your lips to mine
I can't breathe, resuscitate me
Give me a chance to breathe just one more time
[Verse]
With harsh words as sharp as a cold razors edge
I cut and bled you of every tear I could dredge
Broke you like our picture I threw against the door
Then lost you like a ship succumbing to a storm
[Pre Chorus]
Regret fills my heavy heart
Been in tears since you left
I'm so inconsolable
I can't catch my breath
[Chorus]
I can't breathe without your breath upon me
I can't breathe without your lips to mine
I can't breathe, resuscitate me
Give me a chance to breathe just one more time
[Bridge]
I'm sorry for those awful things I said to you that day
There's no excuse, just the fact I was a fool
I don't deserve forgiveness, but I'm asking anyway
Your love sustains me, and my life depends on you
[Chorus]
I can't breathe without your breath upon me
I can't breathe without your lips to mine
I can't breathe, resuscitate me
Give me a chance to breathe just one more time
