Stop, Breathe, Goodbye

I'm pulled from the water but I can’t breathe.
I can’t wake up, I'm lifeless, but I feel free.

Stop
Breathe

The one thing I can do right is taken away so fast.
The people I loved most have disappeared at last.

Stop
Breathe

Why are the tears I cry made of blood so red?
Could it be, my dream has come. Am I finally dead?

Stop
Breathe 
Die

I feel nothing, but I feel pain.
I wish that I could wake up again.

Stop
Breathe out
Cry

I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to the people I loved the most.

Stop
Breathe
Goodbye
