Breathe!
They will turn their backs on me, unless I decide to
Breathe!
You will forget me unless I
Breathe!
I've seen the worst of myself tonight
I almost lost the fight

My mind is lost within my dreams, pinned down wrapped up in the arms of sleep
I feel it slowing now, I can barely see my way out

I won't forget.
And every single time I see your face it reminds me of why I walked away
I won't forget.
And this is how you remind me that when I walked away
I was right to save me from myself
Goodbye, never say I am not enough

I'm scared I've thrown it all away and I'll never be the same
What have they done?
What have I become...
This is the end of running from you
I promise you that!

I won't forget
And every single time I see your face it reminds me of why I walked away
I won't forget
And this is how you remind me that when I walked away
I was right to save me from myself
Goodbye, never say I am not enough

(Never say never) Never say I'm not enough
Never say that I...
(Never say never) Never say I'm not enough
Never say I'm not enough!

. . .


Just as fast as you found the waves have crashed down around me.
I'm still searching but out of place. I need your help, I need your grace.
When does this battle end or does it ever end at all.
And we fear what we can't seem to understand.
We believe what we allow ourselves, our selfish lies in the end.
We believe what we allow ourselves, our selfish lies in the end.

But is this the end.
I feel like the world is getting the best of me and it's getting hard to breathe.
I've never been afraid I've never been ashamed.
So let it be. I pray my God you keep me.
If this is my last chance to believe, I'll believe.

The threat of losing all I know is gone.
You can't judge me! You can't save me!
You can't love me so quite while you're ahead!
You've betrayed me now let me go. You've betrayed me I'm letting you know...
The things that you love will consume you.
The fire swallows you whole if you can't make your choice.

But is this the end.
I feel like the world is getting the best of me and it's getting hard to breathe.
I've never been afraid I've never been ashamed.
So let it be. I pray my God you keep me.
If this is my last chance to believe, I'll believe.

Listen to what your heart tells you before it's too late.
It's crying out to love, but is the risk too great?

. . .


You're heading south for the border
This is the site of the murder
This is the end, this is the end

Cause this is the day your life is gonna change
There's no escape, apology would be too late
Cause you're heading south for the border
This is the site of the murder
Cause you're armed with hate and a handgun
Girl get in the car I'm riding shotgun

You're armed with hate and a handgun
Girl get in the car I'm riding shotgun
Dead men tell no lies
Oh it wasn't me
Dead men tell no lies
Oh it wasn't me

But this is not your last forgiveness
I'm not the one who holds the key
So lock it up, lock it up, lock it up
Hearts will break tonight, hearts will break tonight

Cause you're heading south for the border
This is the site of the murder
Grab the handgun, I'm riding shotgun
Grab the handgun, I'm riding shotgun
We're abandoned I feel abandoned
We'll avenge them we will avenge our
Dead men tell no lies,
Oh it wasn't me
Dead men tell no lies,
Oh it wasn't me

But this is not your last forgiveness
I'm not the one who holds the key
So lock it up, lock it up, lock it up

. . .


So you think you're safe now, well think again.
I'm not holding back now so let the games begin.
My bones are breaking from the weight of the world on my shoulders.
I heard all of them say "you've sold your soul"
Now all that's left is the pain.
You've destroyed us all.

You've destroyed everything I know, but I've lived through it.

All the shame, all the pain that you have caused...
My heart can't beat (my heart can't beat).
All the fights, all the lies you put me through....
It's your disease.

Go ahead, blame everything on the ones who forgive.
Blame everything on the ones who forgive.

All the shame, all the pain that you have caused....
My heart can't beat (my heart can't beat).
All the fights, all the lies you put me through...
It's your disease.

You take. You take. And you...
You take. You take.
You take the life out of me.
(I'm done)
I thought that love was bigger than you hate.
I thought that love could change your heart, but I was wrong.

All the shame, all the pain that you have caused...
My heart can't beat (I've let go).
All the fights, all the lies you put me through....
It's your disease. (I was wrong)
All the shame, all the pain that you have caused....
My heart can't beat (I've let go).
All the fights, all the lies you put me through...
It's your disease.

I'm done with this!

. . .


You look in the mirror
and for the first time
you open your eyes.
Can't help but say oh.
Now go! Oh!

Can't you see it?
Can't you feel it?
Your weakness lasts forever.
Can't you hear it?
You won't believe it.
Listen up before it's too late.

Too brash, too fast.
Walk away from me.
Look back, forget.
Throw it all away.
Can't you see it?
Can't you feel it?
Your weakness lasts forever.

You are a coward without reason,
a thief without a face.

You give me what I need
but my mind is deafening.
My heart screams
I was right.

Oh the pity, oh the suffering.
Sad to say you'll regret your ways.

Can't you see it?
Can't you feel it?
Your weakness lasts forever.
Can't you hear it?
You won't believe it.
Listen up before it's too late.

Too brash, too fast.
Walk away from me.
Look back, forget.
Throw it all away.
Can't you see it?
Can't you feel it?
Your weakness lasts forever.

Your boundaries will fall
just like I said.
Was it worth it all

. . .


The path that we've made
We'll not be afraid to say what we know
We will not let... go
Don't hold your breath, find a way out
Don't hold your breath just find your way out
I'll watch your collapse
You'll try to fight back but you're falling through the floor
Gasp for air

And they say we'll never make it out alive, but at least we'll try
(I'll let you know, let you go. I don't know where I'm going.)
As long as you're not afraid to just run, run
Save yourself

You will never be the same
So watch me, watch me... Grow
You think you know the way
But the way that I'm coming is the way that you're leaving
Oh, you're pushing you're pressing now
These words that you're saying,
they fall from your lips and I'm not even listening
We've wasted so much time, pretending that you cared
Please let me go... Where you belong

They say we'll never make it out alive, but at least we'll try
(I'll let you know, let you go. I don't know where I'm going)
As long as you're not afraid to just run, run
Save yourself

There's got to be a reason, your last words
There's got to be a reason, they weren't heard
You may not like to hear this but you're coming to an end
You may not like to hear this but you're coming to an end
