False Contender - Breathe Lyrics

Driving through the city, with your life in my hands
Searching for the oxygen, while the clock demands
Neon lights are blurring, through the tears in my eyes
Struggling every second, just to keep you alive
Every mile I drive is a promise I won't break
Every breath you take is another I can't fake
I'm still holding on as it breaks me down
Watching you fade away with every turn around
These final weeks, I'll be everything you need
I'll run around for miles and miles, just to help you breathe
The doctors' words are empty, they can't heal our pain
Every second slipping is like blood through my veins
Your face is growing weaker, but your spirit's getting stronger
In the quiet of the night, I keep pushing on and on and on
I'm still holding on as it breaks me down
Watching you fade away with every turn around
These final days, I'll be everything you need
I'll run around for miles and miles, just to help you breathe
I'm still holding on as it breaks me down
Watching you fade away as I turn around
These final words that you want to say to me
You pulled me in, you held my hand and whispered in my ears
Remember our last trip, the sand and the waves
You asked of my future, the dreams I have saved
"When will you get married?" you asked with a smile
I promised you someday, but it'll take a while
Remember our last trip, the sand and the waves
You asked of my future, the dreams I have saved
"When will you get married?" you asked with a smile
I promised you someday, but it'll take a while
Every mile I drive is a promise I won't break
Every breath you take is another I can't fake
You knew your days were numbered, but you never let it show
The warmth you had for me, no, I'm not ready to let go
You knew your days were numbered, but you never let it show
The warmth you had for me, no, I'm not ready to let go
