And still I breathe

There are lots of reasons for me to go
At my feet broken promises lay dead
The only sin of this non-sinner
Believing everything that you said

I’m on my knees
I beg you please
This life I give
And still I breathe

My entire life I have spent waiting
For someone like you to come along
I thought that you were worth the heartache
How did I get so good at being wrong?

I’m on my knees
My heart it bleeds
Not wanting to live
And still I breathe

Do let me climb this stairway to nowhere
I am ready to get up off the ground
I am ready to look only forward
Release me from the ties which I am bound

I’m on my knees
Eyes open wide
Do you see me
I cannot breathe
