Dead But Breathing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well it finally had to end this bitter way
We had no more life to give
No matter what we said
'Cause I worried every night
And slept all day
I was lying to myself
Pretending to be someone else
You loved me so
But it's over
Just let me go
We're goin' nowhere
I feel like I'm dead but breathing
I know because my heart is beating
Just let me go
'Cause it's over
So you tried to work it out and get some help
You'd been foolin' everyone
But I know what's goin' on
I can't hold your hand through this again
We keep lying to ourselves
Pretending to be something else
You loved me so
But it's over
Just let me go
We're goin' nowhere
I feel like I'm dead but breathing
I know because my heart is beating
Just let me go
I'm sorry that I couldn't stay
To fill your empty space
It's alright
You'll be fine
I know that you'll be better off
In a different place
It's alright
You'll be fine
You loved me so
But it's over
Just let me go
I feel like I'm dead but breathing
I know because my heart is beating
You loved me so
But it's over
Just let me go
We're goin' under
I feel like I'm dead but breathing
I know because my heart is beating
Just let me go
'Cause it's over
