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 © L.
