Last Breath
What do i do-when every thought of you-reminds me of what could have been
There's nothing i have-that i wouldn't give-to feel you and hold you again
Late nights i wake up-looking around me-hoping to see that you're there
But when i realize you're gone-and im still all ALONE-im angry that life's so unfair
There are a thousand tears-and they're drowning my soul-im screaming and dyeing inside
Memories are torchure -and i CANT escape them-it feels like im losing my mind
I swear i can hear you-you speak to me softly-gently you whisper my name
Is that you that i feel-standing behind me-i feel like im going insane
You say I'll ALWAYS feel you-that im safe in your arms-that you love me-and you're not
afraid
But i cant stop my tears-they continue to flow-and sweetly you kiss them away
I just CANT UNDERSTAND-i searched for SO long-and JUST when i found you at last
You were taken away-in the blink of an eye-forever making our future the past
Now im left here without you-and i feel so alone-im empty and hollow inside
When they took you from me-they took half of my soul-with you the hope in me died
And EVERYONE says that im lucky-that i left your house when i did
But if i could turn back time-and do it again-id have stayed despite what was said
I would have been there beside you-standin united-as you were looking head on at death
I would have been there to hold you-to tell you i love you-and to forever TAKE IN YOUR
LAST BREATH ..........
