you can barely breathe
as they pull me out of the car
you start to panic
wondering if this is it
my body is limp
i faintly hear your screams
as your held back...
i want to talk to you
i want to reach out to you
but i can't move
i feel like i'm in a dream
they say there's a lot of blood
but i don't feel any pain
i want you to come closer
if they could just let you go
for only five minutes
i want to hold you
to feel you this one last time
to tell you i love you
and everything will be ok
i hear sirens
somewhere in the distance...
now you're next to me
when did they let you go?
you grab my hand
tell me to just hold on
a little while longer
i can open my eyes now
i look at you
tears streaming down your face
i try to squeeze your hand
but i'm too weak
you wipe away my tears
i whisper i love you
the best that i can
you're starting to break down
even harder now
i say it'll be ok
you just shake your head
vision going in and out
don't want to take my eyes off you
don't think it'll be much longer
i'm becoming so relaxed, so peaceful
i say this is it
you can move on with your life now
i'll be watching over you
never too far away
i hope you save
a place in your heart for me
and get all you ever wanted
i want to see you smile again...
you cry harder now
but please don't cry
i don't like seeing you like this
it's just my time...
another tear rolls down my cheek
you wipe it away
and kiss my forehead
i say live your life
with no regrets
learn from your mistakes
i won't be here in person
but i will be in spirit
you say i can't go
that you do love me
but things will be ok i say
don't you see?
this happened for a reason
another of life's struggles
but don't give up
when you need to talk
i'll still be hear to listen
giving you some sign of my presence
you say you're sorry for everything
i say don't be
no one's perfect...
my breathing slows down some
people are rushing all around
if they only knew
i wasn't in any pain
you're squeezing my hand
so much harder now
i say trust me, you'll be ok
and with my one last breath
i whisper i love you...
you grab me, hugging me
wanting me to come back
they let you be for a little while
then they pull you away
you collapse to the ground
i'm still right here beside you
i'm still listening
wanting to hold you
but knowing you won't feel my touch
so i'll stay here beside you
cause i said i'd never be too far away...
i promise i'll never be too far away

live your life
like it's your last day
don't give up
until the pain goes away
it's just another fight
another fight you'll survive
the fight against yourself...
there's no one to back you up
it's gotta be you
it's gotta be you
you're strong enough to make it
you did it once
you can do it again
just look deep inside
you'll find what you've been lookin for
you'll find what you've been missin
but you can't give up, you can't give up
live your life
like it's your last day
don't give up
until the pain goes away
it's just another fight
another fight you'll survive
the fight against yourself...
people think they know you
they don't know how you feel
they don't know what you want
you can only depend on you
don't let them get you down
don't (let them) second guess yourself
do what makes you happy
do what you need to
live you're life
like it's your last day
don't give up
until the pain goes away
it's just another fight
another fight you can win
another fight against yourself

he doesn't see
all the pain she holds inside
he doesn't understand
what she's really feeling
he doesn't know
how hard it is for her
she's completely lost
trying to find herself
unsure of where to turn
she's slowly giving up
realizing loneliness is what she's used to
he doesn't see
that part of her has died
replaying the images in her mind
over and over
until she can't take it anymore
but she's finding her way back home
to where she belongs
he wants her to come back
he's asking for a second chance
but she knows she needs to stay
to get her life back on track
she's beginning to see
she's starting to be herself again
he doesn't want to see
this is her chance to be happy
cause he thinks
he can't go on without her
but she knows
sometimes things just don't work
no matter how hard you try
no matter how much you love
she knows
she could resent him for everything
& to an extent maybe she does
but she's slowly
letting go of the past
looking forward to this new beginning
not wanting to give false hope
she goes on with her life
stating her peace
and hoping for a clean break
he thinks
she's making the biggest mistake of her life
that things could have been great
with only another chance
but she thinks
you always want what you can't have
and you don't realize what you have
until it's gone
but he never lost her
not until that day
when she knew it was over
she saw what she needed to see
cause she lost him a long time ago
long before
she ever had the strength
to finally say goodbye...
