Breathe Again

(Scared and alone
I feel the hands reach around my neck
As I turn to stone
I hear a whisper in my ear
You’re next
And my silent cries
Are gently carried off on the wind
Distressed inside
Just want to breathe again)

How long can I live
Where I was yesterday?
And what will it take
To light a fire inside of me?

I've stayed here way too long
Knowing that I'm in the wrong
Can You rescue me?

Who knew it'd be like this?
All the chances that I've missed
You were right here all along
I'm a fool for hanging on

Can You forgive
The life that I've lived?

Scared and alone
I feel the hands reach around my neck
As I turn to stone
I hear a whisper in my ear
You’re next
And my silent cries
Are gently carried off on the wind
Distressed inside
Just want to breathe again

Why can’t I lift my eyes
As the light fades away?
Is this how it ends
Or is the choice left up to me?

I’ve stayed here way too long
And I’m tired of hanging on
Can You rescue me?

If I reach out my hand
Will You turn and walk away
Or look in my eyes
And tell me that You’re here to stay?

Can You forgive
The life that I’ve lived?

Scared and alone
I feel the hands reach around my neck
As I turn to stone
I hold on ‘cuz You’re all that I have left
Can You save my life?
And raise my head so I’ll dare to live again
I won’t die tonight
It’s time to breathe again
